Jourdan Lewis’ amazing story doesn’t get told enough.
That respect is rooted in not only his competitive fire, or the fact he’s the longest tenured defensive player in Dallas not named DeMarcus Lawrence, but also in how he overcame a devastating injury in 2022 that nearly ended his football career.
It was one that thrust him into depression and forced him to face his darkest demons and, with the help of coaches and teammates, he was able to beat back and defeat.
He’d return in 2023, but to a slow start, and that was not necessarily a surprise when considering just how awful the injury was.
