Alma Mater: University of Michigan
Hometown: Detroit, Mich.
The Dallas Cowboys added a talented and driven cornerback with their third-round draft pick (92nd overall) in the 2017 draft when they selected Jourdan Lewis out of Michigan. Lewis finished his collegiate career with 133 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, a school-record 45 pass breakups and six interceptions with one returned for a touchdown over 48 games played. His size/speed combination make him an ideal slot cornerback, where his lateral quickness and press coverage skills should allow him to excel. An ultra-competitive player, Lewis allowed just seven catches in 2016 for completion percentage against of 23.3, and in three years as a starter he allowed just two touchdowns. With the Cowboys losing three starters in the secondary during free agency, Lewis will have an opportunity for major playing time in Rod Marinelli's defense.
