After ten seasons in the NFL, running back Dion Lewis is retiring according to an ESPN report.
Lewis, who most recently played for the New York Giants in 2020, was a member of six NFL teams dating back to his rookie season in 2011 when he was drafted in the fifth round by the Philadelphia Eagles out of the University of Pittsburgh.
Over his first four seasons Lewis battled season ending injuries and inconsistent play before the Patriots took a chance on him before the start of the 2015 season.
From 2015-2017, Lewis would appear in 30 games and make 19 starts for the Patriots, totaling 1,413 rushing yards and 696 receiving yards with 13 total touchdowns.
