He's a force in the trenches you have to watch out for every down. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I'm really impressed with how he plays the run. He does a great job using his size to clog up rushing lanes, and is a reliable tackler who doesn't allow for additional yardage after he makes first contact." </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lewis has made some big plays this past year.

He has great instincts, impressive sideline-to-sideline speed, and is awesome in pursuit, leading to some huge stops far from where he initially lined up.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Noyd is really productive against the run but can also make a huge impact out in coverage. He's quick to cover lots of ground and has the ball skills/timing to create some splash plays on the ball.
