The Cincinnati Bengals selecting Shemar Stewart in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft was one big part of the team's overall draft class earning such mixed reviews in the grades department. But not every person outside the organization and parts of the fanbase are down on the Stewart pick.

CINCINNATI — Former NFL All-Pro and future Pro Football Hall of Famer, Luke Kuechly, appeared on Up & Adams with Kay Adams this week and declared Shemar Stewart has the highest ceiling of any defensive end in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Shemar Stewart raced to the top of draft boards after his elite showing at the combine and is expected to sign a large contract with Cincinnati.
