Newcomer update: Josaiah Stewart

How He Got Here: Stewart was selected with the 90th overall pick in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Michigan.

What's Next: Stewart joins a young outside linebacker room featuring the reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year, Jared Verse, along with third-year player Byron Young. The pair combined for 121 pressures last season (Verse supplied 77), and they were relieved by the likes of do-it-all outside linebacker Michael Hoecht (now with the Bills). Stewart will look to earn a spot in the rotation with the elite efficiency he provided at Michigan last season.

Bet You Didn't Know: Stewart didn't start playing football until high school.

Quotable: "One thing (I learned at Michigan) for sure I would say is just knowing your role. I mean, coming in from Coastal (Carolina), from being the guy, from being the pass rusher, All-American, record sack leader, to coming to Michigan and being a role player and a rotational guy taught me a lot, man. It taught me what it means to win and what you got to do to play a role and win, man. I'm all about winning, so I'll do whatever it takes." – Stewart on April 25 after being drafted
