Yahoo Sports. - Easily one of the best run-after-the-catch receivers in this year’s draft, Stewart seems actually like one of the more athletically gifted prospects. He possesses elite breakaway speed along with outstanding tenacity lunging for first downs and touchdowns. He protects ball well and runs with fluid strides and smooth acceleration. He shows exceptional focus when playing ball in the air, but does not look exceptional at extending and laying out for tough catches. He is likely to make his impact at the slot receiver position, despite standing six-foot-one.
DLF: Ardarius Stewart - Taywan Taylor - Both players fall into the same arc type when it comes to their athleticism. Like most of the previously mentioned players, Stewart and Taylor are not elite athletes but have just enough athleticism to carve out a role at the NFL level.
NFL Analysis: Stewart isn't getting the same level of hype as the perceived elite receivers in the class, but he has the makings of a sleeper draft pick later in April's proceedings. Stewart plays bigger than his listed 5-foot-11 and is a demon with the ball in his hands. He shows solid stop/start ability in his routes and has the speed (4.49 40) to be a downfield threat. There's not much chance Stewart will see any run in fantasy re-drafts, though he has the potential to be a sleeper waiver wire pick in the right offensive scheme. It's likely that his greatest value will be as a late-round option in dynasty rookie drafts.

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "He's a great athlete. He's a tough guy. He's gonna catch and be a running threat after the catch. Has some deep ball skills as well. He's gonna have the pedigree of a complete receiver." -- Brian Billick
