02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Titans employ a straightforward gap-scheme run game with frequent play-action, focusing on downhill runs and protecting the quarterback.

Left TackleRight Tackle
Best role

Lewan can immediately step in as a starting left tackle, excelling in both pass protection and run blocking, with the ceiling to be a Pro Bowl caliber blindside protector.

Wrong fit

A pass-heavy, spread-option system that relies on constant agility and zone blocking would not fully utilize his power and aggressive nature.

His athletic frame and aggressive nature are perfectly suited for the Titans' physical, run-first offensive identity.

04The evaluation

Selected #11 overall in Round 1 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Tennessee Titans out of Michigan.
