About Mo Lewis
Morris Clyde Lewis III 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 selected by the Jets in the third round of the 1991 NFL draft. 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 has been 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. While Lewis had a productive career, he is best known for being the catalyst for starting the New England Patriots dynasty that would span two decades. The Patriots went 11–3 for the remainder of the season with Brady under center, culminating in the team's first Super Bowl title on February 3, 2002.
