First-round pick Shemar Stewart has plenty of learning moments during his initial Bengals’ practice

Cincinnati Bengals

While Stewart was the final Bengals’ draft pick to sign and criticized ownership while the negotiations were going on, coach Zac Taylor said that the organization can leave all of that contention in the past. “That’s part of being a professional,” Taylor said. Stewart missed three practices before signing his rookie deal, and he also didn’t participate in any of the Bengals’ spring workouts. On Sunday, he went through some extra sets of drills with one-on-one instruction from defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery, was a full participant in position drills and then received about 10 reps in full-team drills against the first-team offense.
