Mercedes Lewis is simply put, a good pass-catching tight-end.  Lewis has long arms and good size (6′5″, 258 pounds) and runs well for his size (4.7 40).  He also has good body control and can make the first tackler miss him in the open field.  Lewis could emerge as Byron Leftwich’s security blanket.

Lewis is soft when blocking and other teams will find that out quickly.  That doesn’t bode well for “Fragile” Fred Taylor running sweeps to his side.

Lewis played in 50 games at UCLA and caught 126 passes for 1,571 yards with 21 TD catches.  Lewis could be a great red-zone target for the Jags.
