Edge Rusher Lewis

On the other hand, Terrell Lewis is on every NFL team’s radar as well, and in many cases, is expected to hear his name called sooner rather than later. Per NFL.com, Lewis is a burly 6-foot-5 262-pound behemoth who is every bit the part of a two-point or three-point stance player on the edge.

With limited access to medical information, Lewis’ injury history at Alabama will not work in his favor this year, But that will work to the Rams’ advantage, as he would invariably compete for round one selection in better circumstances. But the LA Rams are in a good position to trust to patience in the 2020 NFL Draft and allow Lewis to fall to them.

Lewis has the size and strength to challenge offensive tackles in many ways from the edge. He is surprisingly quick, and can simply win by speed alone. But he also has a good head slap move to take the more direct inside route as well. He can bull rush, swim move, spin move, and a number of other highly effective techniques to force blockers to guess through the course of a game.

The Rams need a competent edge rusher to complement what is very likely an upgraded defensive line in 2020. Lewis can deliver that, even as a rookie.
