NFL: Biggest Offseason Addition for Each NFL Team
Dion Lewis doesn’t get enough credit for how effective of a back he actually is.
The Titans have a grinder in Derrick Henry, a bruising back the size of a defensive end. Lewis could not be more opposite of that description, standing 5-foot-8, and just under 200 pounds.
What Lewis brings to the table, however, is phenomenal versatility.
When he was injured in 2015, many (like myself) figured he would simply disappear into anonymity.
The Patriots valued him extremely highly despite their ability to cycle through running backs with ease, and their patience with his injury history paid off in 2017.
En route to the Super Bowl, Lewis racked up 1,110 yards of total offense with six rushing touchdowns and three receiving touchdowns.
He’s got big play ability and will be a great outlet in the passing game for Marcus Mariota.
