John O'Connor, of the Times-Dispatch, reports the
Pittsburgh Steelers have invited
NCAA basketball C
Jai Lewis, of George Mason, to visit with them after the
NCAA basketball tournament is over. There may also be other
NFL teams that want to take a first-hand look at the 6-7 275-pounder. Lewis last played football as a tight end and defensive end at Aberdeen (Md.) High School. But his size and athleticism intrigues
NFL scouts, who see some TE
Antonio Gates (Chargers) in Lewis. A
Steelers scout watched Lewis play in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament earlier this month at the Richmond Coliseum and left impressed by Lewis' dimensions, coordination and mobility. "I'd love to play football, and the
NFL is always trying to find athletes," said Lewis.
Wonder if they're trying him at TE or DE? since he's local, he might be a good guy to look at.
