Stewart is a dense, bowling-ball back. He's rocked up and built like a mini fridge. He doesn't have plus long speed (4.56 40-yard dash), but he gets up to top speed in the blink of an eye (99th percentile 10-yard split). He is a chunk play author who lacks a true home run gear. Stewart's speed and twitch looked decreased in 2025 on film. This could be related to a left foot/ankle injury he sustained early in the year (was spotted in a boot in August). He also dealt with a right leg/foot injury in 2023 (missed the final four games). Stewart has solid vision as a tenacious downhill runner with good contact balance. In 2025, there were times when he paused at the line before bursting forward if the intended gap was clogged. This is just a wrinkle in his game and not a consistent trend across his film. Last year, Stewart wasn't as quick to attempt to bounce runs outside as he had been in previous seasons. Once he gets into the second level of a defense, he displays patience and the willingness to create off-angle tackle attempts for defenders with subtle jump cuts and directional changes. He pinballs off defenders. Stewart has the occasional spin move or stiff arm that he'll deploy to add a few more yards to the end of a run. He is a savvy runner, but he's not dynamically twitchy. Stewart's passing game usage and resume as a pass blocker are extremely limited. He finishes college with only 13 targets and a paltry 0.40 yards per route run. He was a checkdown option only in college. With his pass-blocking reps, Stewart is a work in progress. Stewart is late in diagnosing rushers at times. He has solid lower-body strength but will drop his eyes at times, swing and miss against free rushers, and doesn't sustain his blocks or hit them with a strong punch consistently.
