Chicago Bears fans explode in large numbers over prospect’s visit…
Analysis: The report of a Bears 30 visit for Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart sent fans scurrying for shelter but there are some suggesting he’d be solid.
When it was reported Shemar Stewart from Texas A&M would be at Halas Hall for a 30 visit on Monday the collective groans in social media from Bears fans seemed to echo for minutes.
Bears fans may have been even less concerned over the reports one player who was slated for a 30 visit, Texas’ Isaiah Bond, surrendered to police over a sexual assault charge that he denies
It’s been this way throughout the NFL, actually, when they find out their team is looking at Stewart.
He might be one of the most unpopular or polarizing players to come into an NFL draft in years because of the combination of his 4 1/2 career sack numbers for Texas A&M and his RAS (relative athletic score).
Shemar Stewart of Texas A&M is a perplexing case study in how to assess production on the edge and he’ll visit the Bears.
I don’t get people’s obsession with Shemar Stewart. I get he tested amazing but he has shown no in game production. 4.5 sacks in 3 years. Bears are in no position to take a chance on developing someone.

No defensive lineman has ever had a higher RAS, a number measuring speed, strength, athleticism based on their testing. He had a 10 out of 10 in RAS after a 4.58-second 40, 40-inch vertical leap and 10-foot-11 broad jump as a 6-foot-5 3/4, 267-pound player.
He has the workout warrior tag, but the lack of sacks is alarming.

The visit report had the meme people working overtime with ways to generate expressions of angst. The best might have been one equating it to a Shea McClellin draft day experience. McClellin was 19th overall in 2012 by Bears GM Phil Emery and left after 7 1/2 sacks in four seasons.
Emery left after three drafts.

Also alarming for some was his comment at the combine.
“I would say, sometimes the stats don’t tell the whole story,” Stewart said. “It’s all about the film. And when you look at the film, you can really see what’s going on for the most part.
