Jones said, “We won’t know for sure until we see him play some preseason games, but as of now, Lewis – a 6-foot-2, 207-pound East Carolina product, who saw his 2011 quest to make the roster derailed by injury and then re-signed with Washington in May – doesn’t appear to have the best shot at making the 53-man squad. Pierre Garcon, Josh Morgan, Leonard Hankerson, Niles Paul and Santana Moss all seem likely to make the team. You would think that another wideout with return abilities – Skye Dawson, Nick Williams or Chip Reeves – might be able to earn a spot with a strong preseason showing. And, don’t forget roster hopefuls Donte Stallworth and Devery Henderson, who boast more experience.”
Lewis caught 149 catches for 1,716 yards and 22 touchdowns in two seasons at ECU. In 2010, he set the East Carolina single-season record with 14 touchdown receptions.
