Stanford’s Reliable In-Line TE With a Proven Catch-and-Block Resume
Russell Stewart brings classic tight-end value: in the 1999 season at Stanford, he caught 10 passes for 91 yards and a touchdown, and his Stanford bio says he was praised for both effective blocking and the ability to work the middle of the field. He also earned First-Team Academic All-Pac-10 honors in the 1999 season, which hints at the discipline and consistency coaches love. The big selling point? He’s the kind of steady, veteran TE who can help both in the run game and as a dependable intermediate target.
