Wide receiver DK Metcalf wasn’t the only Seattle Seahawk to land on Around The NFL writer Nick Shook’s All-Under-25 Team last week, offensive guard Damien Lewis also made the list.
Here’s what Shook had to say of the rising young star.
“Like Michael Onwenu, Lewis was a bit of a revelation in his first season,” Shook writes. “He started all 16 games, becoming one of two rookie O-linemen to play 500 or more pass-blocking snaps and allow three or fewer sacks in 2020 (joining fellow All-Under-25 Team member Tristan Wirfs).”

“Lewis was excellent as a road grader, earning the fifth-best run-blocking grade (83.5) among guards in 2020, per PFF,” Shook continues. “Lewis’ strong debut drew praise from the Pro Football Writers of America, who selected him as a member of their All-Rookie Team.”
