Get StartedTRAVIS LEWIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!1111
I was hoping we would get this kid!
I'm not sure if this is a long day of frustration or you actually like him?
Summary: Travis Lewis is getting a lot of flack for something he shouldn't be getting flack for, and that's his play against the run. He's superb. He isn't 245 pounds, but you don't have to be to have terrific playing strength. I've seen him manhandle offensive linemen and make it look easy on tape. He's a sound tackler and as close to a sure thing as you are going to get for a 4-3 outside linebacker. He won't fit the 3-4 as an outside linebacker because he lacks the size and pure pass rushing talent for the position.
Lewis enters the year with a first-round grade on my board at No. 12 overall and could still move up. I love that he can play both the weakside and strongside in the 4-3 at a very high level, which makes him a very rare prospect.
Player Comparison: Lance Briggs. Briggs is the 4-3 linebacker everyone in the NFL wishes they had if they run that front. Lewis has a similar skill set and talent level

I LOVE this kid! Seriously, I had him as our first round pick last year before he decided to stay in school.
2nd best pick of the week for us.
Wonder when he wrote this?
did we only go to the sooner pro day?
