Mark Lewis - OG Oregon added to practice squad

Miami signed undrafted OG Mark Lewis hours after the draft. They tried to make a Center out of him but he was plagued with high snaps in pre-season. He was cut Sep 6th, and picked up by the Hawks two days ago. Obviously, we don't need him to play Center, just add depth to an injury riddled O-line. Lewis (6-4, 300) played in 35 games for the Ducks over four seasons, initially playing offensive tackle before sliding into guard. Could he develop into a solid starting guard?

Would Unger give an honest answer?

He’s not going to be overly critical of a former and current teammate.
