ANOTHER NEED FILLED

KEENAN LEWIS
6'0", 208 LBS
DEFENSIVE BACK
OREGON STATE


The Steelers continue to dominate their shopping list of needs by dropping by the defensive back aisle for Oregon State's Keenan Lewis. ESPN ranked Lewis #16 at his position and #128 overall, which once again reiterates the point that the Steelers care not for the WWL's rankings.

Lewis was a four-year starter at OSU and a three-time Pac-10 First Team All-Academic selection, which means he's got a good head on his shoulders. He started 47 games while at Oregon State while leading the team in interceptions as a junior and a senior. He offers a nice combination of height and speed (4.5 40 time), although it sounds like his hands may be as reliable as Ike Taylor's (not a good thing).

Again, this seems like a level-headed pick of a quality team player who will bring something to the table for a long time. Fans have to be pleased with the way the Steelers have quickly and affordably re-stocked the cabinet with the depth they lost in free agency.
