Running Back Rank: #31
Overall: #62
Lewis played in every game last season, but failed to have a 100-yard game and scored just four touchdowns. He didn't follow up his '07 season too well. But the entire Browns offense struggles, which didn't help Lewis. If they can get going, expect Lewis to have a lot more success this season. Lewis has broken the 1,000-yard mark in seven of eight seasons. He turns 30 before the season start, though, which is usually an age when running backs tend to spiral downward. Lewis isn't a speed back by any means, but runs with a lot of power and has pretty quick feet.

Lewis is a low-end No. 2 back. He'll get consistent yardage totals and seven or so scores, but he won't have too many huge games. Plus, he is due to hit the wall sometime soon. He has a lot of carries under his belt and isn't getting any younger. |

| The Associated Press reports Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini defended the way he runs his practices following comments made by RB Jamal Lewis in which he said Mangini overworks his players. Mangini maintains his practices are not any longer or more physical than ones he's conducted in the past. 'I feel good about the way we practice, the time we practice,' Mangini said. 'Two hours of work on the field is a very reasonable time. The only time that practices are extended is if we don't execute something the right way.' |
