Grover Stewart

strengths

Massive frame with a strong trunk, meaty hips and distributed mass. Rare body control for a player his size and weight, staying balanced in space. Initial quickness to create momentum and work through bodies. Flashes the quick hands to grab, pull and shed with aggression. Country strong and presses blockers into the backfield. Maintains his spot and anchors well, holding up vs. doubles. Easy ankle flexion to change directions without gearing down mid-pursuit. Knock-back tackler and looks to punish. Four-year starter with consistent production with 48.5 tackles for loss in 39 career games - received First Team All-Conference honors three times and Second-Team honors once.

weaknesses

Pads rise off the snap, weakening his power source. Above average upper body power, but needs to better unleash it. Doesn't properly use his reach to maintain spacing at the point of attack and avoid getting covered up. Doesn't always stick to the plan as a pass rusher and lacks the efficient hand moves to break down blockers. Has improved his backfield vision, but his mental process needs sped up. Needs to better use his length to elevate into passing lanes and knock down passes at the line of scrimmage. Weight needs monitored - listed below 300 pounds at Albany State, but was close to 350 pounds at the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. Didn't face top-tier competition at the Division-II level.
