National Football Post's Russ Lande says Cincinnati DE/OLB Walter Stewart could go in the top 40.

"Do not be surprised if Stewart’s back passes some physicals if he ends up being a top 40 selection in the Draft," Lande wrote. Stewart has been getting publicity since getting a second opinion that has allowed him to play football. Most recently, Mike Mayock said Stewart could be a top 10 pick if his medicals check out.

Walter Stewart - LB - Bearcats

NFL Network's Mike Mayock believes Cincinnati DE/OLB Walter Stewart is a top 10 selection if he checks out medically.

Stewart was born without a posterior C1 arch of the vertebra. His last game with the Bearcats was on October 30, and it had been reported he would retire from the sport. It's difficult to say how his medicals will go, as it all depends on the team doctor. We believe that it's highly unlikely Stewart is a first or second day selection, let alone a first rounder.

Walter Stewart - LB - Bearcats

Cincinnati senior OLB/DE Walter Stewart will reportedly retire from football due to a spinal injury aggravated against Fordham.

Stewart’s foster father, Keith Fields, told the Bearcat Lair that Stewart was born without a "posterior C1 arch" and will no longer be able to play football due to a congenital defect in his spine. The senior was apparently injured in the game but continued to play through it. Stewart has emerged as the leader of the Cincinnati defense, but it appears his playing days are over.

Cincinnati senior DE Walter Stewart is likely to miss the remainder of the season with an undisclosed upper body injury.

Stewart addressed the team late last week and told them the news. The true heart and soul of the team, Stewart projected as a rush outside linebacker at the next level. Hopefully his career is not over, but back and upper body injuries are always difficult to come back from. The senior is awaiting a second opinion on the injury.

Cincinnati senior DE Walter Stewart will miss Saturday's game against Toledo and possibly much longer.

Stewart suffered an undisclosed upper body injury against Fordham and it may be significant. The senior projects as a standup pass rusher in the NFL and has five sacks on the season.

Walter Stewart - LB - Bearcats

Cincinnati senior DE/OLB Walter Stewart recorded 3.5 tackles for loss, including two sacks and a forced fumble, in Thursday's win over Pittsburgh.

The first sack was easy, as Stewart flew by the sloth-like right tackle for a clean strip sack, while the second required more effort as the senior shed to close on a scrambling Tino Sunseri. Stewart is one of the few senior hybrid players, and because of his frame likely projects as a pass rushing outside linebacker at the next level. Evaluators will love his burst off the line, but technique-wise, the Bearcat has some room to grow.
