02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Lions operate a primary 4-2-5 nickel defense, focusing on disrupting passing lanes and generating pressure from various alignments with an attacking front.

Weak-side LBSub-package EDGEPass-rush specialist
Best role

Lewis can immediately contribute as a rotational pass rusher and special teams contributor, with a ceiling as a starting weak-side linebacker who consistently pressures the QB.

Wrong fit

A traditional two-gap 3-4 defense where his primary responsibility would be run containment and occupying blockers without significant pass-rush opportunities.

His athletic profile and pass-rush instincts make him a good fit for a defense that values versatility and disruptive play from its linebackers.
