More Senior Bowl talk:
Analyst Daniel Jeremiah, who has Stewart as his No. 46 overall draft prospect in 2025, raved about the Michigan EDGE.
He’s a keg of dynamite coming off the edge,” Jeremiah said. “He is not tall, but he is explosive, and he plays with as much tenacity and effort as anyone in this entire draft class.
And just kept showing up! Even when I was doing offensive tackles, after I had already put him to bed and written his report, I’m doing all these other tackles, and man, he put a lot of blood on their hands, with his physicality and the way he’s able to leverage underneath blocks.”
“His body type and the way he plays reminds you a little bit of … remember Mike Danna went there that last year at Michigan? I feel like there are some similarities,” NFL Network analyst Charles Davis chimed in. “Danna is a little heavier, a little thicker. But not super tall, not a lot of length in the whole deal, but he finds a way to get to the quarterback.”
ME: There are also some clips of Stewart in some one-on-one drills from Senior Bowl practice in this link.
I will be interested to see what happens with QB. I’m glad that they took Verse last year, but I would’ve been fine had they traded up for Penix or Nix. There needs to be some succession plan for Stafford. I kinda think the market for Jaxson Dart will start with the Steelers at pick 21 and run through to pick 25. Not that I expect any of the teams currently picking between the Steelers and Rams to pick a qb, but if none of the Browns, Giants or Raiders pick a QB in the first round, it wouldn’t surprise me to see one of them trade up in front of the Rams if there is any inkling that the Rams might go qb there.
Of course, this is assuming that Sanders doesn’t drop like some pundits have suggested.
I was just listening to a Chargers fan call on NFL Radio with Pat Kirwin. The caller was lamenting losing Ford. Kirwin responded empathetically that Ford is nothing more than a journeyman. He was not excited about what he called an “undersized nose tackle,” and he thought that the Rams overpaid for him. FWIW, Kirwin is good friends with Pete Carroll, so I wonder if they’ve had conversations about Ford in the past.
Anyway, I don’t usually get too worked up about the amount of money teams give a player in free agency. I’m obviously hopeful about this signing. Bobby Brown was a bit of a roller coaster ride for me and Tyler Davis looks like he still has some growing to do.
Davante Adams agrees to two-year deal with Rams
Davante Adams is headed to the West Coast.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Adams is signing a two-year deal to join the Rams.
The initial report indicates Adams’ deal is worth $46 million with $26 million guaranteed.
Adams, 32, split his 2024 between the Raiders and Jets, finishing the season with 85 catches for 1,063 yards with eight total touchdowns. He was thought to be a candidate to follow quarterback Aaron Rodgers wherever he ends up. But instead, he’ll play his 12th pro season with Matthew Stafford behind center.
A three-time AP first-team All-Pro, Adams has 957 career receptions for 11,844 yards with 103 touchdowns in 164 games.
With Cooper Kupp on the trade block — and a candidate to be released if no trade partner is found — Adams is expected to pair with Puka Nacua to form Los Angeles’ frontline tandem at receiver.
