Fourth-round pick Alex Lewis is 6-foot-6, 315 pounds and plays on the offensive line. He seems to be a serious individual dedicated to the football profession.
We saw more from him the other day. We just weren't sure it was him.
Last week I wrote about first-round selection Ronnie Stanley fitting into a chicken suit and then entertaining the team with an R Kelly tune. It was fun, and, in some ways, team building.
When a giant Minion appeared in front of the team last Friday, murmurs in the room indicated that many did not know who was in the costume.
The muffled voice from the front of the room came: "It's hot in here!"
"Who are you?" came the shouts.
"Alex Lewis." He then offered some of his vitals, and it was time to sing. Alex was robust as he started the familiar words to "Play That Funky Music White Boy." His voice was good, and he could dance. (His mother started the Phoenix Suns dance group; his father Bill played seven NFL seasons and, like Alex, was a team captain at Nebraska.)
By the end of the song, Lewis was jumping, twisting and twirling. Players and coaches joined the chorus enthusiastically. It was fun.
