Tyquan Lewis NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Indianapolis Colts' Pick

POSITIVES

—An effort pass-rusher who wins with power and leverage at the point of attack.

—Thick-bubbled lower body with nice power base and burst.

—Hand technique is well developed and allows him to counter pass-blockers.

—Somewhat scheme-versatile with his powerful frame; has lined up inside as an interior rusher.

—Quickness is good enough that he can get into the body of tackles off the snap then use hands/length to win.

NEGATIVES

—Lost in the rotation at Ohio State and often played as the third or fourth pass-rusher.

—Doesn't hold up against the run and can get pushed off his spot too easily by tackles.

—Average agility in space and doesn't show the balance or light feet to execute a speed game.

—Can be overwhelmed by athletic tackles and doesn't always open his toolbox of moves.

—Might never be more than a rotational end, which was his role at Ohio State.

OVERALL

The Ohio State defensive end group was the best in the country the last two seasons, but that cost Tyquan Lewis playing time. He still produced when he was on the field, but scouts will definitely bring up his lost reps when evaluating his case.

GRADE: 5.99 (Round 4)
