Makes me very uncomfortable labeling people like that before they've played a single snap that counts.

I was reviewing some of the pre drat write ups on him. One evaluator was playing his tape and said his get off at the snap was faster than Bosa and Jones, both of whom should be first round picks next draft. That he was buried on a very deep OSU defensive line.

Still, I think the praise is getting a little out of hand. Can’t wait for those impatient fans wondering why he is a bust because he doesn’t have a couple sacks in the first few weeks. As racehorse said, it takes several weeks to get in game shape, assuming he has been keeping himself in shape. Also you see a lot of guys get reinjured if they haven’t played in awhile; ie Dez Bryant.

He may play the warren sapp 3-tech role. But Sapp was like 312 pounds, Lewis is 260-270? Big difference there. Still it will be nice seeing him out there and applying pressure up the middle. I just like to temper expectations till I actually see him play a little.
