ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Taylor Lewan first gained fame about 45 minutes west of Detroit, where he was known as a character, jokester and big left tackle for the University of Michigan.
He developed into an eventual first-round draft pick, but early in Lewan’s college career he was known mostly for one thing: the mustache tattoo on his finger. As a joke, he would sometimes lift the mustache to his face.
And it played well.
Now, Lewan has the real thing growing on his face, and the Tennessee Titans left tackle believes it is one of the best facial-hair decisions around.
