The Cleveland Browns claimed cornerback M.J. Stewart off of waivers on Saturday.
Stewart was originally a second-round draft selection by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2018 NFL Draft, but was waived by the Buccaneers on Thursday after two disappointing seasons.
The 5-foot-11 and 200-pound Stewart played in 21 games and made six starts with Tampa Bay, but never found a role with the Buccaneers despite playing as an outside corner, as a slot corner and as part of the team’s nickel defense.
Therein may lie the problem.
