Former Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis decided to hang up his cleats after the 2020 campaign and is now dipping his toe in the coaching pool after a few years away from the game.
According to Mark Singelais of the Albany Times Union, Lewis is taking an assistant coach job with the University of Albany, where he will work with running backs under running backs coach Jordan Orlovsky.
“It’s great to be back in the Capital Region,” he said. “I’m extremely grateful to join the Great Dane family. I’d like to extend my thanks to Coach Gattuso, the entire football staff, and (athletic director) Mark Benson for welcoming me. I’m excited to get to work and hit the ground running with this group.”
Lewis spent two years with the Titans before being released. He then latched on with the New York Giants, where he played the final year of his career.
Prior to his stints in Tennessee and New York, Lewis spent two years with the Philadelphia Eagles and three with the New England Patriots. Lewis won a Super Bowl ring with the latter.
