M.J. Stewart Off to Fast Start in First NFL Camp

Posted Jul 30, 2018
Midway through the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' first practice of training camp, M.J. Stewart lined up as the slot cornerback on the second team defense, his eyes on wideout Erv Philips. Philips made a quick cut over the middle, but Stewart stuck with him and got a hand in front to knock down the pass. It was a good start for the rookie out of North Carolina. (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
