1980 Profile: Frank Lewis
Wide Receiver
No. 82
Grambling
"It took nine seasons, but Frank Lewis finally got it right. Fifty-four catches for 1,082 yards (20.0), his best pro season ever. Thirty-three years old and getting better.
Lewis was once a starter for Pittsburgh's first two Super Bowl champions. He deflated Baltimore in the 1976 playoffs with a 76-yard touchdown catch. But the Steelers had Lynn Swann and John Stalworth, so Lewis was traded to Buffalo in 1978.
Born in New Orleans, his hometown is Houma, Louisiana. A deputy sheriff in the off-season, no one tries to run away when Frank makes an arrest.
He scored 42 touchdowns as a wingback at Grambling. His longest touchdown catch as a pro was 92 yards for Buffalo two years ago."
-Dave Newhouse, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football, 1980 Edition
"Frank caught five passes for 153 yards and a touchdown on September 17, 1978."
