8. Terrell Lewis, EDGE, Alabama

As always, there was an Alabama prospect to keep an eye on. More specifically, there was a player on the defensive side of the ball in edge rusher Terrell Lewis. The 6-5, 252-pound outside linebacker finished the 2019 season six sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss in 10 games. The Senior Bowl was his chance to show why his numbers didn’t tell the full story.

He accomplished that early on, winning one-on-one matchups in practices. Lewis’ long arms allowed him to stay clean. His natural speed was evident as he closed in with a quickness. Lewis doesn’t possess the strength at the point of attack to put his hand in the dirt. His potential as a 3-4 outside linebacker is evident.

Thanks to his sped and range, there is something to get excited about with him possibly dropping back in pass coverage. If not for injury concerns, it’s believed that Lewis would be a Day 2 lock thanks to his ability to utilize his length off the edge.

With his Senior Bowl Week performance, he’s sure to get some love heading into the combine. Lewis is scheme-specific and could shoot up draft boards for 3-4 teams thanks to his performance during Senior Bowl week.
