[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 256431, member: 639"] Thanks for the compliment. If you want my honest eval of BS, here it is: The kid is never going to be fast, OK? Let's get that in our head first. He may work real hard on technique and strength etc for sprinting, but the reality is he may improve by a tenth or something in the 40. He will never run like Stephen Hill for example. You can't coach speed and you can only improve so much with work. If you could get fast with work, everybody would be fast. He is progressing as a blocker but is behind Jeune in this regard IMHO. I think Stewart is a heady player who will need to be precise to be effective. At this point his strengths are going up to win contested balls and finding open spaces after plays break down. He has good hands and can surprisingly make people miss a little bit with the ball in his hands, even though he isn't fast. BS is having trouble beating CBs to get separation right now. He has made some plays with double moves when defenders over commit, but he isn't putting a lot of fear in the minds of DCs, commanding any double teams. When you use the expression "next level" do you mean NFL or just better in college? If you mean NFL, just pump the brakes a little and give him some time to grow into a college receiver first. If I were his coach, I would prioritize getting him stronger first. He needs to body up and block like a banshee. Plus he can use his physicality to manhandle CBs at the jam and get some separation that way, because it isn't going to come with a great burst of speed. He is above average in terms of getting off the ground. Many CBs are a bit short today and he can cause match up problems with his height and his leaping abilities combined with hands and body control. [/QUOTE]
