Albert Lewis came to the Kansas City Chiefs as a 3rd Round Pick from Grambling State in 1983. Playing cornerback, Lewis took over the left side in his second season as a pro, and in the latter half of the 80s he emerged as one of the top Defensive Backs in the National Football League.
Lewis went to four straight Pro Bowls (1987-90) and was a First Team All-Pro in both 1989 and 1990. The man-to-man specialist joined the Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders for the last five seasons of his career, which spanned 16 seasons and 225 Games. He would generate 42 Interceptions and 832 Tackles over his career. Hey, if Jerry Rice calls you the toughest coverage he ever had, that says it all! Throw in his punt-blocking skills, and you have one of the most underappreciated players ever.
