Lions agreed to terms with seventh-round LB Travis Lewis on a four-year contract.
Lewis was a well-known player at Oklahoma, racking up lots of tackles but lacking NFL-caliber measurables and rarely playing to his big name. He may end up going the same route as fellow former OU linebacker Rufus Alexander. Wed, May 9, 2012 03:32:00 PM

Travis Lewis - LB - Lions

Lions seventh-round LB Travis Lewis managed just a 4.88 forty at the Combine and 4.75 on a faster track at Oklahoma's Pro Day.

It's not Burfictian territory, but it's close. Lewis made a ton of tackles in college, but lacks speed to develop into 4-3 starting linebacker. "He didn't run real well, but you watch him on the field, he plays fast," coach Jim Schwartz insisted. "He showed a lot of toughness this year and he's been productive."

Travis Lewis - LB - Lions

Lions selected Oklahoma LB Travis Lewis with the No. 223 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.

A four-year starter for the Sooners, Lewis struggled through his senior season while playing with a broken foot. A tough tackler with a high football IQ, Lewis simply lacks NFL-caliber size and speed. He's headed for a special teams role if he cracks the Lions' final roster.
