As a free agent rookie coming out of Duke, Thad Lewis wanted an opportunity. He needed one team to give him a chance, which is exactly what the St. Louis Rams and then-offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur did.
Now, Lewis is glad to be playing under Shurmur once again. However, this time as he will be donning midnight green as the Eagles’ third-string quarterback.
“I’m happy to reunite with him. Obviously, we have history,” Lewis said. “He was the only one that gave me a shot coming out as a rookie. I’m thankful for that, and hopefully I made him look good.
