With the 2020 NFL Draft in the books, we’re wrapping things up by offering player profiles on all the UDFAs signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The franchise’s history is strong with diamonds in the rough though in recent years. Hopefully the can find some who may have been overlooked in this year’s group.
#10 Leo Lewis/iLB/Mississippi State/6’1”, 253 Lbs
The Good
-Good size for the position
-Well-proportioned, strong frame built to hold up inside
-Fills holes with force and does a good job processing quickly to fly downhill against pulling OL
-Decent range for the position with fluid movement skills
-Flashes ability to slip blocks and stay clean
The Bad
-Soft demeanor for linebacker; rarely shows aggression
-Motor and overall want-to levels are question marks for me
-Allows linemen to climb to the second level on him far too often
-Eyes are consistently slow to processes without pulling OL to key on
-Struggled to stack and shed; overmatched against interior OL
-Does not use his hands well inside; needs to learn to generate more power with them
Bio
