INDIANAPOLIS — Roger Lewis always imagined he would be right here at the NFL scouting combine.
He could not have fathomed the path.
Three years after the former Bowling Green State University receiver stood trial on rape charges — a murky case that interested NFL teams have exhumed this week — Lewis looks to make continued good on his second football life.
The one-time star Ohio State recruit who spent two years in football purgatory before landing in Bowling Green in 2014 could be the Falcons’ highest draft pick in nearly four decades. Lewis is projected as high as a third-round selection, where the Browns took former BG quarterback Mark Miller with the 68th overall selection in 1978.
