After Marcedes Lewis put together an impressive 58 receptions for 700 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2010, many of us in the fan base worried that the Jacksonville Jaguars may hand a big contract to a player developing into a diva. Lewis got his big contract (five years, $34 million) and while his numbers never returned to 2010 form, he has proven that concerns he may become a diva player were not needed.
Instead, we’ve seen Marcedes Lewis develop into a professional that helps young Jacksonville Jaguars teams try to succeed despite poor roster strength. While Lewis was expected to be a pillar of strength for the Jaguars for the next five years back in 2010, he has handled his long slide with grace and now he has been surpassed on the depth chart.
