        The issue I have is that they charged him with 3 counts and he says that some guys said he slugged him... That would be one count, not three. Something doesn't jive there. And he says he was breaking up a fight but no one else was charged...

        On top of that, to be charged they would have to have evidence or a witness. So there has to be more to it or it just doesn't make sense. Lewan's account doesn't fit the charges and seems to not make sense IMO.

        It's worth getting more details on if you're a team interested in him.

          Were I a college player about to realize my life-long dream, the last thing I would do would do is to habituate the bars. Buy a case and guzzle it at home. Whether the charges are valid or not, he and whatever stands for as parents these days are idiots. Stay home and wait for the call...

            Yeah right. A YOUNG guy about to be drafted is NOT going to sit at home twiddling his thumbs.

            He is going to go out & enjoy his life. Spit happens. I doubt it will be any big deal.

            And this happened on DECEMBER 1 2013. ESPN is writing about it NOW? Hmn I wonder why that is?

              Swiper believes Lewan's explanation. I think it's the truth. He loses no draft standing over this.

              In fact, he should be honored if he hit an Ohio State fan.

                I suggest you re-read your own article. It answers you in paragraphs number 2 and 8. ROFL @ you.

                  Which articles would that be?

                  Are you referring to the article Don't Panic linked?

                  I would not call that my own article. And I still think ESPN is reporting on it NOW, because the draft is around the corner.

                          That reads "charges dropped " .

                          I'd still pick him and think " great pick ". Has the game film and moved impressively at the Indy Combine.

                          Looks like a long term starter at either tackle position. 6-7 310 with a big wingspan.

                              No surprise about this report. Heck Kiko Alonso didn't have a great track record coming into the season and look how good he was off the field for us this year. Heck Duke Williams had a sketchy past too as well as a few other rookies from last year. Personally I can't see the Bills passing on Lewan at pick 9 unless they really think Ebron or Evans are going to be great but to me the best pick at 9 is Lewan assuming Matthews and Richardson are gone.
