Jai Lewis Workout Information/Results

at 292 he is too big to be a receiving TE. He'd have to get down to 260 or so. If he gets down to 260 his 40 improves by probably 2 or 3 tenths whihc but him in the 4.6-7 range which is totally fine for a TE. It isn't Winslow terrotry but it is faster than Crumpler and about the same as Gates.

And you still have to remember his 40 was untrained. These other guys work for weeks on technique and explosiveness to gain a tenth or two. He's done none of that on a major scale. Not trying to defend the guy but I'd be willing to give this guy some training camp time to get a better idea on his ceiling. 292 Lb guys who can run sub 5 in the 40 are rare.

To be honest, I'm cool with the Skins just keeping Robert Johnson. At least he's a football player.

I think he'd be a good pick at 53. Do you think he'll drop the far? We need depth on the OL.

I see him on the d-line. He's got good quickness, might be able to make a team as a pass rusher, whether dt or de. He will have problems playing the run, but w/his quickness (as opposed to st. speed) & athleticism, he coule be a good pass rusher in a rotation.
B-ball players should have good lateral movement, which bodes well for the d-line & pass blocking.

The reason Larrenega (sp?) sent out letters to all 32 NFL teams about Jai Lewis is because he has the most amazing hands he'd ever seen. I don't see him learning a completely new position (He was an all-state TE in Maryland when he went to highschoool.)

He's also going to have to work to drop some weight, and work on his speed. But if he's able to do that just a bit he'll be able to really win a lot of 1v1's. While playing basketball, they wanted him big to body up and shore up that center. I think some team will take a chance on him, and I'd love to see what he does.

What ever happened to that pro wrestler who tried to make it in the NFL last year? When I say pro wrestler maybe I should of said fake wrestler.

He washed out. Lesnar was a athletic freak but he hadn't played football since highschool and I don't think he was especially good at it even then. Plus he was a giant wuss. Lewis played in highschool and was apparently pretty good.

didn't make final cut for the vikings.

Lewis is going to probably spend the entire first year just getting in shape. His hands may be good, but he won't be winning any jump balls.

what about as a pass catching fullback? guess he's never done any lead blocking before...

why would a team pick him when the attitude is win now?a project at best that could take up to 3-4 seasons before getting anything out of him.there are enough real football players playing that lewis being drafted is a real reach
