Stallworth

The former Colt and Saint appeared in seven games between the Chiefs and Texans last season. Heading into his age-28 campaign, Stallworth has made two starts across five NFL seasons. He is a pure depth signing, one who will be hard pressed to crack the 53-man roster.

Stallworth picked up three sacks and 12 quarterback hits last year as part of the Indianapolis interior rotation -- each of those figures was a career-high. He’ll mix in alongside Chris Jones, Derrick Nnadi, and Khalen Saunders inside for the Chiefs.

Stallworth had a career-high three sacks and 12 quarterback hits last year as part of the Indianapolis DT rotation. He previously played with the Saints. The Colts are reportedly interested in bringing him back at a lower salary cap figure, but Joel Erickson reports that he “is expected to have a market.”

Stallworth made minimal impact for the Saints last year, recording eight tackles across 93 (9%) snaps. The 2018 UDFA previously logged 364 snaps (and one sack) in his rookie year.

A 2018 UDFA, Stallworth made 14 rookie appearances, playing 364 snaps. He was on the field for 22 plays in Week 1 but scratched for Week 2. 2019 is Stallworth’s age-24 campaign.

Stallworth (6’2/312) made 31 starts on the Gamecocks’ defensive line, managing 6.5 career tackles for loss in an old-school, two-gap nose tackle role. In 2017, PFF College still credited Stallworth with 24 QB pressures and 17 total defensive stops as South Carolina’s disruptive space eater. Just a second-percentile SPARQ athlete, Stallworth is a throwback, two-down run stopper who probably won’t become a factor on passing downs.
