As a Buckeye, Lewis logged significant playing time in his final three years as a defensive end. In his time in college, Lewis logged 112 tackles, 37.0 for loss, and 23.5 sacks to go with five forced fumbles.<\/p>\n<p>At the tail end of the second round, Lewis was selected as the fourth edge rusher taken. As a rookie, Lewis appeared in eight games and started six after missing the first half of the season on IR with a toe injury. In his first action, he recorded three tackles and a pass break-up. Lewis maintained that little bit of production up until Week 15 where he recorded his first two career sacks.<\/p>\n<p>In his second season, Lewis battled injuries and only appeared in nine games, recording any stats in five and finished with just five tackles, one for loss, one pass deflection, and a quarterback hit. Then, for the first time in his career, Lewis appeared in every game and started four times. To this point, 2020 was a career year for Lewis as he amassed 4.0 sacks, 24 tackles, eight tackles for loss, six quarterback hits, and a pair of pass deflections.<\/p>\n<p>As it is, 2020 was a career year. In 2021, Lewis appeared in the first eight games but suffered a season-ending injury after managing just 2.5 sacks, 14 tackles, six quarterback hits, and an interception. Following the 2021 season, the Colts brought Lewis back on a one-year deal. Unfortunately, it was more of the same. Lewis appeared in seven of the first eight games then suffered a season-ending injury.<\/p>\n<p>Main Image: Jenna Watson\/IndyStar \/ USA TODAY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyquan Lewis, a five-year veteran on the defensive line, signs a contract with the Indianapolis Colts.
