When Roger Lewis Jr. was a kid his mom bought him the jersey of his favorite player: Eli Manning.
On Sunday, he caught the quarterback’s 300th career touchdown pass, which just so happened to be Lewis’ first NFL reception as well.
So how did he go from wearing number 10 as a grade-schooler to wearing number 82 on Sunday?
The answer is special teams. Lewis made the 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie wide receiver out of Bowling Green, but he was part of the active gameday roster of 46 players on Sunday because he can cover punts.
