Brian Lewis brings size, disruption, and pass-rush juice off the edge
Brian Lewis is a 6-foot-4, 264-pound junior defensive end for Gardner-Webb who profiles as a sturdy edge setter with real backfield disruption upside; in the 2006 season, he played in nine games as a reserve, posting four tackles, two tackles for loss, and a sack. The appeal is his frame and ability to collapse plays from the edge—exactly the kind of developmental defender coaches like for physicality, length, and effort. If you want a young DE with a clear power profile and room to grow, he’s worth a look.
