Texas A&M Aggies edge rusher and Cincinnati Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart was the talk of the NFL after holding out from rookie minicamp.

Cincinnati selected Stewart with the No. 17 overall pick of last month’s NFL draft. The choice made him the first Aggie pass rusher to go in the first round since Myles Garrett in 2017, largely due to his freakish athleticism and high potential to wreak havoc at the next level.

The Bengals have already signed four of their six rookies selected in this draft with Dylan Fairchild, Barrett Carter, Jalen Rivers and Tahj Brooks, and made a splash in the undrafted rookie pool as well. There is still plenty of time to finalize their contracts before the full offseason program kicks off.

It's worth noting that Turner didn't sign his rookie contract until July 21. The Bengals signed first round pick Amarius Mims one day later. Turner and Mims were taken 17th and 18th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, respectively.
