Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick Shemar Stewart thought he was going elsewhere during the 2025 NFL draft.
Let Stewart tell it, he thought that based on his pre-draft journey, he might wind up as a member of Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys.
Obviously, that didn't happen and Stewart was left a little surprised when the Cowboys instead went with Alabama guard Tyler Booker at No. 12 overall.
Not that Stewart had to wait much longer. He sat out a few more picks, then had his name called by the Bengals at No.
