Marcedes Lewis Says XFL Will Regret Anthem, Arrest Rules

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis isn't keen on the XFL's rebooted policies.

Speaking to TMZ on Thursday, Lewis said he thinks the league is making a mistake by not accepting players with criminal records and forcing participants to stand for the national anthem.

"They may not play ball...that might affect who you're able to get in that league," he said.

Lewis added: "I think you should have a choice. Criminal records...I mean that's open to interpretation. What if you do get in trouble. And people get second chances in the NFL, so why not?
