Chad Wayne Lewis (born October 5, 1971) is an American football tight end in the NFL who most recently played for the Philadelphia Eagles.
[edit] Early life and career
Lewis grew up in Orem, Utah and played football at Orem High School. Before attending college, Lewis served as a Mormon missionary for two years in Taichung, Taiwan where he learned to speak Mandarin.
After walking on at Brigham Young University, Lewis finished his collegiate career with 111 receptions for 1,376 yards, and 10 touchdowns. As a junior, he was an All-WAC first-team choice, and a UPI All-American honorable mention.
[edit] NFL career
Lewis signed as an undrafted free agent for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1997. After playing 2 1/2 seasons with the Eagles he was signed by the St. Louis Rams for only 1 season. Lewis won a Super Bowl title with the Rams in 1999 (Super Bowl XXXIV over the Tennessee Titans). Lewis was re-signed by the Eagles and caught the game clinching touchdown pass in the 2005 NFC Championship game. However, during this reception, Lewis suffered a serious foot injury that kept him out of the Super Bowl XXXIX loss to the New England Patriots.
