Lew feels like a direct investment in the post-Karras future. He was already making full protection calls at Auburn and started as a true freshman, which is rare at center. I have him at a five because he is still a rookie coming off an ACL tear. The brain and toughness are obvious; the knee and NFL anchor have to prove themselves.
Strengths: Lew is an advanced communicator with wrestling balance, 25 SEC starts and unusually mature protection awareness. He allowed no sacks during his freshman pass-blocking sample.
Weaknesses: The 2025 ACL injury interrupted his development and creates immediate recovery questions. He is young and must add consistency against powerful professional nose tackles.
