Former Bengals safety and Super Bowl MVP isn’t worried about Shemar Stewart’s lack of college production

Shemar Stewart came into this year’s NFL Draft as one of the most athletically gifted edge rushers in a deep class, but he had a baffling lack of production in college, with only 4.5 sacks to his name after three years with Texas A&M.

Dexter Jackson, a former safety who was named the MVP of Super Bowl XXXVII and finished his career in the NFL with the Bengals in 2008, recently spoke with Roto Grider’s Ben Mendelowitz and shared his thoughts on why the lack of college production should not be concerning.
