Michael Henry Lewis (July 14, 1949 – September 6, 2024) was an American professional football player who was a defensive lineman for 10 seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers.
Mike Lewis was born July 14, 1949, in Houston, Texas.
Lewis attended Wiley College, private historically black college in Marshall, Texas, playing football there until the school dropped the sport in 1968.
[4] Lewis initially joined the Falcons at their training camp ahead of the 1971 season as a linebacker, but was moved to defensive end as the team already had seven veteran linebackers in camp and there was little chance of cracking the roster at that position.
[4] He saw action in nine games for Atlanta during his rookie year, playing on special teams.
