Jabrill Peppers gets all of the love on the Michigan Wolverines defense, but cornerback Jourdan Lewis is also starting to make a big name for himself this season. Plays like this one he made to seal the win over Wisconsin probably don’t hurt.

Some will be quick to knock Lewis for his smaller frame at 5’11” and 186 pounds. However, Lewis plays like a true outside corner, especially against the run, doing a great job of wrapping up the ball carrier in open space.

In the passing game, Lewis has elite ball skills and at times looks like he’s tied to the hip of whoever he’s covering. Whoever drafts Lewis will be getting someone who can immediately come in and play the nickel corner position at an extremely high level.
