Lewis Neal Madden Career Madden NFL 2018 - Peak 63 OVR

Lewis Neal was an LSU defensive lineman who went undrafted in 2017 and caught on with Dallas, making the roster as a rotational interior piece. He was just the undrafted lineman who has to earn snaps in a crowded room, and he got a season's worth before the depth chart moved past him.

The Madden card is short and honest. It rose from a 63 to a 68 peak in Madden NFL 19, both cards labeled Dallas, the grade of a depth lineman whose NFL career was confined to the 2017 season, seven games and a handful of tackles on limited snaps. The number improved a touch but never had much to build on, a fair read on a brief rotational run.

His NFL time ended after that one year, the common fate of an undrafted lineman on a deep front. Neal is the deep end of a defensive line, the rotational body who gets a season and then gives way, valuable for depth and gone before anyone outside the building noticed him. The short 63-to-68 card is the honest read on a one-year NFL career.
