Adam Zimmer knows a thing or two about assessing linebackers. After all, he’s coached the Minnesota Vikings heralded unit for the last five seasons. This week, Zimmer took on head coaching duties for the West squad in the East-West Shrine Game from St. Petersburg, Florida. Among the players that caught Zimmer’s eye was former Colorado Buffaloes linebacker Drew Lewis. “We’ve got to clean up some of his technique and fundamentals, but he’s got tools,” Zimmer told NFL.com writer Chase Goodbread Wednesday.
Lewis also made an impression on Bleacher Report’s lead NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller, who named Lewis among his “biggest winners” from NFLPA Bowl and Shrine Game weeks.
