PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Evan Stewart is one of the most dynamic movement-Z wide receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft class, boasting elite twitch, route tempo, and vertical acceleration. A former five-star recruit and standout at Texas A&M before transferring to Oregon, Stewart is a true three-level threat who creates separation with fluidity and burst. His ability to uncover early in the rep and exploit soft zone coverage makes him a reliable first-down machine in spread or West Coast systems. While his wiry frame limits his physicality against press and through contact, Stewart’s natural route pacing and body control give him WR2-plus upside with WR1 flashes in the right offense. A potential season-ending patellar tendon injury clouds his immediate outlook but does not erase his long-term ceiling.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
