Lewis is a nine-year veteran who started 15 games last season. He is an athletic DT who has a quick first step and can create penetration early off the ball. He has good recognition skills inside. He uses his hands well to take on blocks and he has enough strength to shed and make plays inside. He also is quick enough to disrupt blocking schemes with his ability to get upfield. He changes direction well and shows good range down the line of scrimmage. As a pass-rusher Lewis can get on a lineman's edge quickly and he shows good hand use to get around the corner. He will play high at times but he has enough athleticism to keep his feet when he is getting chipped. He gives good second effort to recover if he loses leverage quickly off the ball. He's quick with his hands, knows how to counter and does a good job of working off the inside frame of a guard or center.
