Insane Jourdan Lewis INT Seals Michigan Victory (Video)
By Erik Lambert
With all the talk about Michigan football and Jabrill Peppers being their best prospect, it’s easy to forget how well cornerback Jourdan Lewis has played.
Playing a critical game against cross-state rival Wisconsin, the Wolverine were locked in a tight defensive battle. Nursing a narrow 14-7 lead with little time left, the Badgers got the ball back with one more chance to go for the tying score. Always known for being a running team, they instead decided to try a bomb down the left side, seeing if they could beat Lewis. Not only did they fail in that attempt, but he made them look foolish with one of the sickest interceptions in recent memory.
It’s an announcement of arrival for Lewis. He didn’t play the first three games and hadn’t made a significant impact yet this season. Suffice to say the frustration was high even as the Wolverines were winning. Guess he got tired of waiting and decided to do it the hard way. Cornerbacks don’t typically show hands like that. Lewis is sure to get more attention from NFL teams moving forward.
