2007 | Albert Lewis | Cornerback

Albert-Lewis

Lewis was a vaunted cover man and a lynchpin for the league's most decorated secondary unit for over a decade 
 Picked off 20 passes during his first four professional campaigns before opponents finally decided it wasn't a good idea to test him 
 Four-time Pro Bowl cornerback concluded his Chiefs tenure with 38 career interceptions, the fifth-highest total in franchise history 
 In addition to his exemplary coverage skills, possessed tremendous speed off the edge and owned an uncanny ability to stretch out his body on special teams 
 Utilized those rare traits to become the most adept kick blocker in franchise history, swatting down a team-record 10 punts, four of which were returned by the Chiefs for a TD 
 Named Kansas City's MVP following the '86 season when he accounted for 69 tackles (61 solo), four INTs, two fumble recoveries, a sack and a blocked punt 
 Also earned a spot on the Chiefs 25-Year All-Time Team in '87 
 Helped lead the club to five playoff berths and was a member of the '93 squad that reached the AFC Championship Game 
 Saw duty in 150 games (128 starts) for the Red and Gold, accumulating 555 tackles (450 solo), 38 INTs, 11 fumble recoveries and 4.5 sacks 
 Spent the final five years of his professional career with "another" AFC West squad, but it was in a Chiefs uniform where he built his reputation as one of the most respected cornerbacks of his era 
 Joined the club as a third-round selection in the '83 NFL Draft out of Grambling 
 Born October 6, 1960 in Mansfield, Louisiana.
