ArDarius Stewart will return to a National Football League roster.

Things did not work for him with the New York Jets, but the “Big Apple’s” loss is a gain for the Oakland Raiders.

Per the team’s website, the Raiders’ signed Stewart to its practice squad on Wednesday. A native of Fultondale, Ala., he was a very talented high school quarterback and wide receiver. Stewart used his toughness and big-play abilities to carve out a productive career at receiver at the University of Alabama from 2013-16, as he was a part of three consecutive Southeastern Conference title teams (2014-16) and a national championship group in 2015.
