A second-round pick of the Colts in the 2018 NFL Draft, Lewis has recorded 59 tackles, 22 quarterback hits, 15 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, five pass break ups and one interception in 42 career games with the franchise, including 12 starts.

The 27-year-old Lewis played in just eight games in 2021, however, as he suffered a season-ending knee injury while returning the aforementioned interception in an overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. He also dealt with a torn ligament in his toe as a rookie and high ankle sprain during his second year in 2019.

Lewis was one of 10 former Buckeyes on the free-agent market this offseason, joining cornerback Eli Apple; offensive linemen Jamarco Jones, Andrew Norwell and Billy Price; defensive end Jalyn Holmes; defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins; and safeties Malik Hooker and Nate Ebner; and long snapper Jake McQuaide.

Jones landed a two-year, $5.75 million deal with the Titans, while Hooker (two years, $8 million) and McQuaide (one-year veterans minimum) both re-signed with the Dallas Cowboys.
