M.J. Stewart Released By Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Posted Aug 7, 2020
M.J. Stewart was expected to become an important piece to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary. But the second-round pick from North Carolina in 2018 never found a position to call his own. At 5-feet-11, 201 pounds, Stewart was given opportunities to establish himself outside as a starter at cornerback, inside as slot corner, or in nickel situations. (Tampa Bay Times)
