GREEN BAY – There will come a time when Marcedes Lewis no longer boards a plane every July to travel to whichever NFL city he'll call home for the rest of the calendar year.
At some point, the Pro Bowl tight end's football career will give way to his interest in fashion, culture and martial arts. This offseason, the 36-year-old Lewis started co-hosting his own lifestyle show, "The Thre@d" on Uninterrupted's YouTube channel and intends to start working toward his belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
But as much as Lewis is ready for what life has to offer after football, he still feels a strong connection to the game and a burning desire to finish what the 6-foot-6, 267-pound tight end started as a first-round pick out of UCLA in 2006.
