In a suprising decision, Michigan junior T Taylor Lewan will return to school for his senior season.
"I have unfinished business here," Lewan said. The junior earned a first-round projection from the NFL Draft Advisory Board, so he is leaving a lot of money on the table, but Lewan could end up being a top five pick in 2014. He'll continue to block for Devin Gardner, who is a much better passer than Denard Robinson. Jan 9 - 6:16 PM

SI's Tony Pauline tweeted that an announcement regarding Michigan junior T Taylor Lewan's pro future should happen in the next few days.

Pauline tweeted Lewan has "settled on representation" and that nothing should change in the next few days. In a later tweet Pauline suggested Tom Condon as that representation. Lewan has a real mean streak to him, and outside of two plays, he did a very good job against Jadeveon Clowney.

Taylor Lewan - T - Wolverines

Michigan junior T Taylor Lewan is not looking towards the NFL at this time.

"Honestly, I haven't thought about it yet," Lewan said. He added the process wil start after January 1 following the team's bowl game. "We obviously weren't successful with our team goals," Lewan said, "so I'm pretty upset about that. But there's always next year."

Taylor Lewan - T - Wolverines

Michigan junior Taylor Lewan is ranked as SI's Tony Pauline's top draft-eligible T prospect.

Pauline states that the Michigan product "is not as dominant as former Wolverine Jake Long, but Lewan is more athletic and much better blocking in motion." We prefer both Texas A&M tackles, Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews, but Lewan is right up there in terms of talent.

Taylor Lewan - T - Wolverines

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler calls Michigan junior T Taylor Lewan "so talented" but has concerns about the prospect's technique.

Brugler says Lewan has "rare coordination and athleticism for his size" but he is "too lazy with his footwork and technique right now." Lewan has been compared to Jake Long because of their Michigan connection, but the junior certainly has a few things to work on. We still consider Texas A&M junior Luke Joeckel the top draft-eligible left tackle prospect.

Taylor Lewan - T - Wolverines

Multiple Michigan players and coaches continue to insist they are not worried about "SEC speed" during their opener against Alabama.

"I think we play the game just as fast as they do," said standout junior left tackle Taylor Lewan. "When you know what's going on all the time, you can play pretty fast." Lewan will have his hands full in veteran senior defensive ends Damion Square and Quinton Dial, along with up and coming pass rushers Adrian Hubbard and Xzavier Dickson. Alabama's offense is focused on overpowering their opponents, so the Crimson Tide's speed may be more evident on the defensive side of the ball.

Taylor Lewan - T - Wolverines

NFL Network draft analyst Chad Reuter considers Michigan junior Taylor Lewan the top draft-eligible tackle prospect.

Reuter emphasizes Lewan's combination of size (6'7/302), length, and athleticism that already immediately situate him in the elite class at his position, but Lewan's nasty streak sets him apart. There is growth potential for the Wolverine, and that may be why Reuter compared Lewan to Matt Kalil who gained 15 pounds in the predraft process.

Taylor Lewan - T - Wolverines

Draft analyst Tony Pauline projects Michigan junior T Taylor Lewan as a first- or second-round prospect.

Pauline calls Lewan "king sized" standing at 6'7/302 pounds with "solid movement skills and flexibility". However, Pauline does admit that Lewan may be better off on the right side but comes with large upside. Wisconsin senior tackle Ricky Wagner earned the same grade from Pauline. We believe there are better junior tackle prospects, but Lewan is firmly in the top five of that group.
