NFL All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons is a fan of Shemar Stewart. He praised the Bengals first-round pick's "violence" last week.
Cincinnati selected Stewart with the 17th pick this year despite his 4.5 total sacks across three seasons at Texas A&M.
"This guy is violent He may not finish," Parsons said on Bleacher Report's draft coverage. "But I will say his get off, everything up to that point is 110 miles per hour...I don't really look at the sack numbers, but the size, he's an every-down defensive end."
Parsons has amassed a whopping 52.5 sacks in his first four NFL seasons.
It would be a solid start if Stewart reached more than half of that on his rookie deal. The athleticism and havoc-creation might be close to what Parsons brings to the field, but Stewart has a lot to prove when it comes to finishing as well as his new NFL peer.
