Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart is ready to go to work after signing his rookie contract.
The 17th overall pick in this year’s draft, Stewart made waves due to a prolonged contract dispute. He missed the Bengals’ offseason program and was the last first-round rookie to sign his contract. Speaking to reporters in the locker room at Bengals training camp on July 27, Stewart said he was eager to put the drama behind him and live out his dream of playing in the NFL.
