Rams selected Michigan EDGE Josaiah Stewart with the No. 90 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
A two-time All-Sun Belt performer in 2021 and 2022, Stewart transferred to Michigan in 2023 recording 8.5 TFLs and 5.5 sacks as a reserve.. Last year he earned Second Team All-Big Ten nod with 8.5 sacks, 13.0 TFL and a 92.3 pass rush grade that ranked second nationally to only Adbul Carter (92.4). Posted a dominant 27.7 percent overall win rate and was extremely productive when he would occasionally throw a bull rush at opponents, recording a lethal 26.3 percent pressure rate. His jaw dropping 42.4% win rate on true pass sets is one of the highest marks of the last half decade. Stubby at 6’1/249 with 31 7/8th” arms, but a feisty, tireless player who explodes into contact and is more than willing to bow up in run support. Uses his low center of gravity to get underneath blockers’ pads, coupling a fierce bull rush with the fast twitch athleticism to run the hoop. Aggressive, punishing play style and is unnaturally powerful for his size, going after 300+ pound tackles in run support when many players his size would try to dip around blocks. While Stewart has size limitations, his tough, frenetic play style should translate to a consistent passing down 3-4 outside linebacker role.
