The Texas A&M Aggies will have 11 players available for selection in the upcoming NFL Draft. However, only two are so far in the conversation to become first-round picks.
Still, in the latest mock draft from NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah, only one Aggie is projected to hear his name called on Day 1. Jeremiah projects the Green Bay Packers to take Shemar Stewart with the No. 23 overall pick.
“Packers love SEC front seven players with outstanding traits,” writes Daniel Jeremiah. “Stewart fits the mold.”
Stewart, the former five-star prospect out of Opa Locka, Fla., hasn’t exactly developed into the sack machine that many may have wanted during his college career. However, he was productive, totaling 65 tackles, 12 for loss and 4.5 sacks over his career.
The Packers have certainly made selecting members of the front seven who played in the SEC a habit of late. Dating back to 2021, the Packers have drafted six different players in the SEC’s front seven. That includes last season’s second-round pick, Edgerrin Cooper.
The former Texas A&M Inside Linebacker is off to a hot start to his NFL career. He made the Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie team. He played in 14 games for the Packers, totaling 87 tackles, 13 for a loss, 3.5 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble.
He’ll be reunited with Stewart, who despite not having the desired sack production some would like from a first-round edge rusher. His combination of size, speed and length has him in the conversation.
The three-day NFL draft begins Thursday, April 24, 2025. and will continue until Saturday, April 26.
