Shelton Lewis

A plus athlete with verified top-end speed that has been deployed mostly as an outside cornerback at prep level, but figures to eventually slide inside on Saturdays. Might be under 6-foot, but plays a bit bigger than the number suggests as he has found some success blitzing off the edge and making stops in run support. More importantly, has shown that he can mirror with his hips while gaining depth, which is an important skill to have in an era where so many want to air it out. Doesn’t have a ton of experience actually jamming wide receivers at the line of scrimmage, but has shown that he isn’t afraid to fight through hands at the catch point and is likely only going to get better with his press-man technique once working under the watchful eye of college coaches. Recognized as one of the Peach State’s top overall players after a senior season in which he picked off three passes on defense and caught four touchdowns on offense. Will likely need a year or two to find his bearings at the next level, but has the looks of a future starting slot corner at the Power Five level. Should draw looks for NFL scouts one day given speed markers after capturing a state title as a junior in the 400-meter dash.
