i haven't been able to find game tape of him what are you guys opinions on him as a prospect?

Undersized and not an elite pas rusher but a hard hitter who works hard.

3rd round IMO.

Out of position, 4-3 LB all the way

Important to note are Lewis' well-documented academic issues and his excellent work on special teams.

I haven't seen a ton of him, but hasn't he largely been playing out of position as well? I was lead to believe he'd be a much better ILB then OLB.

I think he'll do fine as "the other guy" at OLB in a 3-4. He's a good tackler, had hitter, and plays really hard. He's just as dumb as a box of hammers, and so he's not going to necessarily make great heads up or technique plays.

I think I like him more than most, mid-2nd I think.

He almost exclusively played defensive end for the Sooners; from my recollection it was entirely on the left side. His lack of height and bulk will probably force him to play linebacker in the NFL, although he may be better suited to a position other than 3-4 rush linebacker because he was never very successful as a pass rusher.

Love him. Obviously more athletic but also gets off blocks better then Upshaw. Great feet and instincts. Undersized, but a great run defender. Not very polished as a pass rusher but he's got a natural burst off the ball. He's still pretty raw so he does all this somewhat naturally. Imo is the type that blows up after getting pro coaching. Main concern is he's dealt with some injuries.

Cant agree with you anymore.

Unreal talent who needs a patient coach. Late 2nd early 3rd is low risk Super high reward
