Stewart Bradley (born November 2, 1983 in Salt Lake City, Utah) is an American football linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles. He was selected from the University of Nebraska in the 2007 NFL Draft with the 87th overall pick in the 3rd round. Bradley is expected to compete for a starting job at the strong-side linebacker position in Philadelphia's 4-3 defense.
On December 23, 2007 Bradley had his first sack, and first interception in an Eagles win over the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome. Bradley finished with 6 tackles, 1 sack and 1 interception. During the game, he also essentially single handedly stopped the Saints from scoring from inside the 5 yard line 4 plays in a row. Sheldon Brown, a starting cornerback for the Eagles has gone on the record as saying that Bradley reminds him of Brian Urlacher in the way he stands in the middle linebacker position and the way he moves around on the field. It is speculated that Bradley, along with Chris Gocong and Omar Gaither are to be the starting rotation for linebacker in 2008 now that Takeo Spikes was released by the Eagles. Bradley will call the team's defensive plays this 2008 season as the middle linebacker.
