Lewis looks bigger and thicker than his frame would indicate. He's a sneaky quick receiver off the line with good coordination and has enough short area quickness to get corners off balance in press-man and get into is route. He lacks a great first step, doesn't have "plus" initial explosion and isn't going to run away from defenders initially down the field. However, he builds speed as he goes and, despite not looking that fast, has that sneaky extra gear when tracking the football. He doesn't gain a ton of separation vertically, but locates the ball well, adjusts extremely well to the play and is natural catching the football over his outside shoulder even with defenders draped on him. He's a naturally strong kid who can fend off corners in jump ball situations. He also maintains balance when asked to adjust, using his big frame to box out defensive backs and attack the football at its highest point. He plays big in jump ball situations and will protect his quarterback.
Lewis exhibits plus balance and coordination as a route runner as well. He does a nice job keeping his feet under him cleanly/sharply getting out of his breaks on inward breaking routes. He lacks a great burst, though, and isn't going to create a ton of separation. However, he uses his body well to box out receivers, extending his long arms and naturally plucking off his frame. He's coordinated enough to adjust to throws off his frame and he will go get the football. He displays natural physicality to his game after the catch, but isn't a burner or huge make-you-miss guy. He will get after it in the run game and with a strong, compact frame, he likes to be physical and is a nasty crack-back blocker.
Impression: A big guy who can line up both inside and out, cleanly get out of his breaks and track the football. Lewis isn't overly dynamic, but has good play speed tracking the football and is guy who could mature into a starter, but more so as a prominent reserve.
