Michigan Wolverines’ offensive tackle Taylor Lewan’s name hasn’t come up as often as he probably hoped or expected when the top prospects in the 2014 NFL Draft are discussed.
That, however, does not mean he isn’t viewed as an elite prospect and his pre-draft visits seem to indicate that he is.
On Tuesday, NFL.com’s Gil Brandt reported Lewan worked out for the Atlanta Falcons, who have been searching for a franchise left tackle to protect Matt Ryan.
