There’s a lot to like about Minnesota Vikings first-round draft pick Lewis Cine. Former NFL safety and current ESPN analyst Matt Bowen recently called the hard-hitting defensive back the “ultimate tone-setter” for a defense.
“From a coaching perspective, I want that guy. I want him in my secondary room because he is a tone-setter. He is an ultimate tone-setter,” Bowen said, when speaking with team reporter Tatum Everett.
Cine sets the tone with his willingness to pick up his lunchbox and go to work on every single snap. The physicality he brings on the backend of a defense warrants respect right out of the gates.
