Spotlight: Greg Lewis

When it comes to the new batch of New England Patriots this season, not all of the newly-acquired players are rookies. One player in particular that Bill Belichick took under his wings for the ‘09 season is Greg Lewis, who was released earlier this year by the Philadelphia Eagles. Lewis spent the last six seasons in the NFL with the Eagles, and his transition to the Patriots this offseason has been a big adjustment for the receiver, who will compete with the newly-signed Joey Galloway to take the spot of Jabar Gaffney, the former Patriots’ wideout who left the team earlier this offseason for Denver.

He’s no rookie, but Greg Lewis is back to learning the basics - of the Patriots’ offense, anyway. Lewis recently spoke of his learning plan for the offseason, saying, “I’m picking it up day by day, just like everybody else that is pretty much new here. Just learn as much as you can each day, and try to implement it on the field, and get into your book in the evening and try to carry it over.” Lewis has already proven himself at the Patriots’ OTAs and minicamp last month, and he’s still got the team’s upcoming training camp to get more comfortable.
