Lewis played for six teams during his NFL career before he retired in 2021.
He started his career with the Philadelphia Eagles before spending some time with the Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts. After that, he made his way to the New England Patriots where he played super well.
His best individual season with them came during that Super Bowl season in 2017 when he finished with 180 carries for 896 yards and six touchdowns.
He then played for the Tennessee Titans and New York Giants before retiring.
