VAN NUYS, Calif. – The Rams selected OLB Josaiah Stewart out of Michigan with the 90th overall pick in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
At 6-foot-1, 249 pounds, Stewart was selected to the Second Team All-Big Ten team in 2024 after totaling 8.5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles in 11 games. Stewart was a team captain last year and led a Michigan squad that would go on to produce two first-round picks on the defensive line in both sacks and tackles for loss.
Stewart joins Jared Verse, Byron Young, Nick Hampton, Keir Thomas and Brennan Jackson in the Rams' outside linebacker room.
