Our scouting report page with all of our other scouting reports

Measurables:

6’1 246 pounds, 10.1/8″ hands, 32.75″ arms

4.88 40 yard dash, 22 bench press reps, 36″ vertical, 122″ broad jump

Stats:

career: 343 tackles, 6 sacks, 8 INT

2010 (He’s been hurt so far in 2011)

109 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 3 Interceptions

Pros:

Very productive….reportedly a good leader and has a great work ethic…instinctive, especially in the run game…has pass rushing  potential…Gets off blocks much better than giving credit for, though he does lack ideal size for a SAM…Plus in coverage

Cons:

Lacks scheme versatility, ideally suited for a 43 defense…potential as a pass rusher, but needs work…not going to make Sportscenters top 10 with bone crushing hits…his tackles for loss have gone down each year…isn’t a great tackler…prima donna? (seen it reported)…Injury concerns (played through a broken big toe on his foot this year) has missed games because of injures…slower than expected at combine

Round projection: Round 3-4. A down year for Lewis while he battled injuries is likely going to keep him out of the first round and possibly even the second round. He could be a very early round 3 pick.

NFLmocks preseason bio

Lewis could be the best WILL linebacker prospect in the entire draft. He has been a projected first round pick since 2010, and likely will be a first round pick in 2012. He combines phenomenal speed to go along with his ideal size for the position. His tackles for loss have gone down every year, but he has still been very productive with 362 tackles, 26.5 for loss, 8 interceptions, and 10 passes broken up. He is a complete prospect who will likely only benefit from another year of seasoning. Started all 41 games he has played in over three year span. Has been named All-Big 12 three years in a row, and in 2008 was the Big 12 defensive newcomer of the year as a freshman. Broke Brian Bosworth’s freshman tackles record with 144. All Big 12 Academic performer who will break the all-time record at Oklahoma of interceptions by a linebacker if he picks off just one pass in 2011. Six career sacks and likely will be a plug-and-play in the NFL. Immediate starter at WILL in a 4-3 defensive scheme.
