Alabama EDGE Terrell Lewis confirms he’s talked with Lions coach Matt Patricia

Alabama EDGE Terrell Lewis is the latest 2020 NFL Draft prospect to confirm he’s had a pre-draft meeting with the Detroit Lions. Lewis specifically cited the Lions and his conversation with head coach Matt Patricia, which took place remotely via teleconference.

From King’s Football Morning in America on NBC Sports,

Today, I talked to coach [Matt] Patricia and the staff with the Lions. On those calls, we talk ball, their scheme, watch film, talk about my upbringing, my journey at Alabama, how I fit in their team, what I’m doing with my money to make sure I take care of it. We get to know each other a little bit. I want to make them feel comfortable with me as a person.

Lewis is generally regarded as a Day 2 talent. He’s had a litany of injuries that include a torn ACL and another Crimson Tide season almost completely wiped out due to a serious arm injury. He was healthy in 2019 and contributed 6.5 sacks and 11 TFLs while showing enough potential to earn a Senior Bowl appearance.
