Morris Clyde Lewis III (born October 21, 1969) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker for 13 seasons with the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Georgia Bulldogs and was drafted by the Jets in the third round of the 1991 NFL draft.[1] Lewis was named to three Pro Bowls and was a first-team All-Pro during his career, in addition to being a member of the Jets All-Time Four Decade Team. However, Lewis' accomplishments would be overshadowed by him injuring New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe in 2001, which inadvertently began a dynasty for the Patriots when they relieved Bledsoe with Tom Brady.
