Terrific report. I am a Maddox fan, too, and have written at controversial length about it on TOS. You saw what I saw: tough as hell, and that low pad level and defender hates to see coming through the line. Worst case for me: he's the new Jeremy Stewart who we've needed ever since Jeremy Stewart. Remound was very good in short yardage, but Stewart was almost automatic.
I love tackles with great feet--guys who look like they could shed 30 pounds and play tight end. When I see him on tape, I think of another northeasterner we pursued, but an OLB, if that seems possible: Dickerson.Â
I like Stewart a lot, too. Someone labelled him this year's Connor Crane, a player to whom Stewart bears no resemblance other than the distance between the top of his head and the ground on which he is standing. Crane was a one-trick pony in high school, with the trick being a skinny post from the Z receiver spot. Stewart, by contrast, makes spectacular one-handed catches and runs fades, crossing patterns, and bubbles, and often gets yards after the catch, even pulling the DB along behind him for extra yards.
And if Hamilton can neutralize Gary, he's as advertised. And he's got a great body at his age--big broad shoulders and thick traps, a more agile and athletic Cameron Fleming I think.
Again, excellent and insightful report.
And one more: Paramus Catholic's coach has said that Stewart has as much upside as anyone he's ever coached, and he coached Jabril Peppers.Â
