Curtis James Stewart (June 4, 1963 – July 3, 1996) was a running back in the National Football League for the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Auburn University.

Early years

Stewart attended Jefferson Davis High School. He posted 1,430 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns as a senior.[1] He helped the team achieve a 10-0 regular season record and reach the state's 4A playoff semifinals.[1]

He was a highly recruited football player in Alabama, but his grades didn't meet the NCAA's standards to receive a scholarship.[2]

College career

Stewart enrolled at Ferrum College to improve his grades. He was the team's leading rusher as a freshman, transferring at the end of the season to Auburn University.[2]

As a sophomore, he didn't see much action in a team that had future NFL players Bo Jackson, Brent Fullwood, Tommie Agee and Tim Jessie at the running back position. As a junior, although he was listed as the third-string running back behind Jackson and Fullwood, he was used predominantly as a blocker, registering 37 carries for 199 yards and one touchdown.[3]

In 1986, because of the talent level at the running back position, he was tried briefly at linebacker, before being redshirted to extend his college eligibility.[4]

As a redshirt senior, the starter James Joseph cracked his left kneecap in September, opening the door for Stewart to be one of the players employed in a running back by committee approach.[5] He was fifth on the team with 54 carries for 181 yards and 2 touchdowns. He scored 2 rushing touchdowns against Vanderbilt University.[6] He finished his college career with 92 carries for 383 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Professional career

On February 3, Stewart was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Chicago Bears after the 1988 NFL Draft, to be used as a fullback.[7][8] He was placed on the injured reserve list on August 23.[9] He was released on September 4, 1989.[10]

In October 1989, he was signed to the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad. On November 21, he was promoted to the active roster.[11] He wasn't re-signed after the season.

Personal life

In 1996, Stewart was named a volunteer assistant coach and strength coach at Jefferson Davis High School, contributing to the team winning a state championship. On July 3, he died from injuries suffered in a traffic accident on U.S. Route 80, between Selma and Montgomery.[12]
