Lewis is a fleet footed glider who possesses soft hands and excellent ball skills with the explosion to take the top off the defense. He is a natural hand catcher who does not let the ball get into his body. A fluid route runner with the speed and acceleration to get separation from defensive backs as seen on film and supported with his 10.6 speed in the 100 meters during track season. He has the ability to high point the ball supported by his 6’ 1” high jumps during track & field season and a 34 inch vertical leaping ability.

Eddie is doubly dangerous in the return game with the ability to catch punts effortlessly and flip field position with his open field running ability. Offensive Coordinator Jerry Kill along with Special Teams Coordinator Vince Okruch will find a very talented speed burner with the ability to take the rock all the way to the student section in High Point Solutions Stadium.
