David Wayne Lewis (born June 8, 1961) is an American former professional football player who was a tight end in the National Football League (NFL).
Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Lewis played scholastically at Grant High School.[1], where he was selected as a high school All-American by the National High School Athletic Coaches Association.[2] He played college football for the California Golden Bears for three seasons,[3] and, as a junior, was honored by Gannett News Service as a first-team All-American.[4]
Lewis was selected by the Lions as their first pick (20th overall) in the 1984 NFL draft.[5] [6] The Lions cut him before the start of the 1987 season, and he was signed by the Miami Dolphins one month later as a replacement player.[7] He was one of the last replacement players to be cut from the roster once the veteran players returned from the 1987 NFL player's strike, and was re-signed by the Dolphins in December.[8] [9] [10] [11]
