Veteran running back Dion Lewis, who played eight NFL seasons over 10 years and won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots, is retiring from the NFL, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.
Lewis, who played for the New York Giants last season, had fielded interest from teams as recently as last week, a source told ESPN.
The 5-foot-8 Lewis, who was utilized for most of his career as a third-down back, always played bigger than his size, gaining 3,833 yards from scrimmage with 22 total touchdowns over his career.
