The hype surrounding Terrell Lewis always seemed justified.

Just look at him.

At 6-foot-5 and 256 pounds, the Alabama junior has the lean, sinewy build of an elite pass rusher.

He also has a tantalizing blend of speed and power -- qualities that made him a defensive terror.

For evidence of that, just rewind to that day in April 2017, when Lewis snatched a ball thrown by Tua Tagovailoa and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown in the Crimson Tide's spring game.

It was a feat of pure athleticism, and for once the potential was real.
