I'm not a big fan of Bleacher Report, but there are some nuggets here and there. I kind of agree with this guy on a couple of risky players. His writing is pretty good, not "shot-in-the-dark" stuff.
Edge-rusher Terrell Lewis is yet another Alabama prospect who carries a couple of red flags into the predraft process. Like Tagovailoa, injuries are a concern. He was limited to 26 collegiate games because of a torn elbow ligament and then a torn ACL.
"There are durability concerns with this player," Jeremiah wrote.
Lewis could still become a force in the NFL. He looked the part of a future pro in 2019 when he amassed six sacks and 11.5 tackles for a loss. However, injuries are a legitimate concern for a physical defender. His limited playing time also makes him a relatively inexperienced and raw prospect.
"[He] will get later off the ball later in games, and there are concerns with long-term conditioning, which would make sense given the time he's missed due to injury," Benjamin Solak of The Draft Network wrote. "Must see a more intentional rush plan before he will cash in on physical tools."
If Lewis can refine his technique, he'll have a chance to become a premier NFL defender. However, he'll also have to stay healthy along the way. Given his history, there's no guarantee that either will occur.
