Colts’ Grover Stewart will occupy massive role in reinvented defense

Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Grover Stewart will enter his ninth campaign as the longest-tenured defensive player drafted by the Colts. Stewart has exceeded any expectations from when he was just a massive NCAA Division II prospect barely on the NFL radar.

If a football player gets the opportunity to showcase his abilities on the gridiron, talent scouts can recognize and discover a hidden gem from just about anywhere. The Colts first examined the 6-foot-4. 300-pound mammoth out of Albany State, a historically black university in Georgia. Scouts took interest after watching Stewart pulverize opposing linemen, without using much technique.
