Not many Dallas Cowboys took a bigger step back in playing time in 2018 than cornerback Jourdan Lewis. The second-year pro was coming off his rookie year in 2017 where he started seven games and recorded 54 total two tackles for loss, one interception, and an impressive 10 passes defended.
Expectations were high for Lewis. Many believed he and Chidobe Awuize would be the Cowboys’ starting corners for the next few years, but that all changed when Dallas brought in Kris Richard.
The new defensive backs coach, who played a big role in the creation of the Seattle Seahawks’ “Legion of Boom”, had a very particular mold of corner he likes in his defense.
