No. 82
Grambling
"Thought by many Grambling insiders to be the best pro prospect to come out of the little football citadel. Lewis can be a running back or receiver. Art Rooney, Jr. of the Steelers called him another Gale Sayers long before Pittsburgh drafted him No. 1. Ex-pro star Lenny Moore says, 'You got to see him to believe him, he's got moves you won't believe.' He does a 9.4 hundred and 4.4 in the 40-yard dash.
Lewis is mainly a pass catcher, but averaged 17.2 yards a carry on 45 rushes in 1969. A hamstring pull held him back in 1970 but he still led the team in scoring for the third straight year. He's no stranger to Three Rivers Stadium fans because he scored three touchdowns there against Morgan State in 1970."
-John Devaney, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football (1971 Edition)
"One of the Steelers' most potent bomb theats, Frank was injured towards the end of 1972 and had to miss the playoffs. He catches the ball well and is very fluid."
-1973 Topps No. 456
"An outstanding receiver, Frank can also be a very effective punt returner and runner on the end-around play.
He was a wingback at Grambling and made Third Team Little All-America in 1970. Frank scored 42 touchdowns in college."
-1975 Topps No. 71
"A very consistent receiver for the Steelers, Frank is effective on the end-around play and can be used as a punt returner. He's extremely fast and an outstanding long-bomb threat."
-1976 Topps No. 261
"Frank is very effective on the end-around play and was used as a punt returner early in his career due to his running ability. He made the sensational catch in the 1975 Playoff game against the Colts that led to the Steelers' first score. Frank had a very effective season in 1975 with an average-per-catch of 18.1.
He scored 42 touchdowns rushing and receiving during his career at Grambling."
-1977 Topps No. 319
Frank majored in recreation at Grambling."
-1978 Topps No. 431
