Yeah, Lewis has ended his NFL career, a bit earlier than he announced last month. And he is looking forward to life away from football, a life that includes doing some lucrative businesses like running a trucking company based in Atlanta.
Announcing that he would retire following this season, Lewis was placed on injured reserve Wednesday because of post-concussion symptoms, along with Brodney Pool. So Lewis had to end his season earlier than expected and went to retirement earlier, too.
The career he ended on Tuesday is worth remembering. With a bruising style that flattened would-be tacklers, Lewis rushed for 10,607 career yards. Rushing for 2,066 yards while playing with the Baltimore Ravens, he won the title of the league’s offensive player of the year in 2003. Signing with the Browns as a free agent in 2007, he rushed for 1,304 yards that season, and except for Hall of Famer Jim Brown, no else Browns back has ever achieved that record.
