Scouting Report: Strengths
- Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
- Plays the ball as if it was thrown for him, showing burst back to the ball as well as good timing for the jump ball.
- Instinctive, adept at reading routes and anticipating throws, and strong in zone coverage.
- Has the fluidity, speed and quick feet to come down and defend slot receivers in man coverage. Lewis also does a nice job breaking down in space as a tackler after the catch.
- Attacks the ball with authority, with quick read-and-react ability. Willing and physical tackler, flashes toughness and aggressive nature vs. the run.
- Tracks the ball well and has the natural ball skills for forcing turnovers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Susceptible to double moves, though that could be coached out of him. But the problem is that Lewis doesn’t track the ball downfield, and he seems to lack the ball skills to break up plays.
- Despite his size, he’s not an overly physical tackler. Lewis might have to add some weight at the next level in order to become more physical.
- Inconsistent getting off of blocks. Can be a step slow to react when a quarterback comes back to his side of the field late in progression.
