Isaiah Lewis

strengths

Compact, well-built frame. Quick to read run, attacking the line of scrimmage and showing burst, agility and body control to adjust to make the effective open-field tackle. Takes out the legs of bigger ballcarriers, ripping through at the knees. A bit high in his backpedal but covers ground efficiently. Smooth turning motion and accelerates without downshifting. Plays the ball in the air with good timing on his leap and effective hand-eye coordination to knock the ball away from the receiver.

weaknesses

Lacks ideal size for the position. More finesse than physical as a tackler and doesn't face up and driving to the turf. Struggles to locate the ball, turning his back to the quarterback. Lacks the closing speed to recover when beaten initially.
