WATCH: Former Tennessee DL LaTroy Lewis records two sacks in Raiders preseason debut

Former Tennessee DT LaTroy Lewis went unselected during the 2017 NFL Draft, but wasn’t unemployed for long, signing a free-agent deal with the Oakland Raiders.
On Sunday night, he made his NFL debut in the Raiders’ preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals, and he did not disappoint.
In the third quarter, Lewis raced around the Arizona right tackle to sack former Mizzou QB Blaine Gabbert:

Lewis wasn’t done terrorizing Gabbert yet, though, as he came back in the fourth quarter with another impressive sack:

Fortunately for Gabbert, the Cardinals don’t play the Raiders during the regular season. However, it may take a few weeks for him to stop having nightmares that Lewis is chasing him down.
If Lewis continues playing like he did on Sunday night, he may just earn a spot on the Raiders’ 53-man roster.
