I didn’t know they had a league either. I don’t think it would be the same situation as Wade because Lewis signed with a Swedish team but I don’t think that he himself is Swedish.

Perhaps he will cook up some surprise pre-season victories for us!

Most countries in Europe have leagues, here in the UK we have a 3 tiered league, where most teams in the top two tiers kit up 35+ players for a 10 game plus playoffs season.

 

It's strictly an Amateur sport in the UK, so players pay to play. Most of our best players will go out to places like Germany, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Italy, where there are professional leagues where they can be paid for playing (and often coaching.)

I’m calling it, Barkley is history.... ?
 

Just shows that Brandon Beane leaves to stone unturned, he’s got a world wide network...

I don't understand the whole LSU/Robert Morris thing? 

It looks like he was a walk-on at LSU (what does "preferred walk on" mean?), who was offered a scholarship his Jr year in 2017.

Then Burrows transferred to LSU, so it was clear Lewis wasn't going to start. 

Lewis went to another school, Robert Morris (I had to look up it's a DI school), where he played 5 games as a Senior last fall?

Ah-HA! moment on the 3 degrees of connection:

Caleb Lewis' dad, Tommy Lewis, played college football "in the 1980s" at....William & Mary.  I don't believe he would have overlapped with McDermott, who graduated in 1998, but they both would have connected with Jimmye Laycock.  Sounds like someone picked up the phone and said "could you give this kid a look?"

Tre' White must also know him.

 

HS Coach's kid.  Scored an 800 on his math SAT and left HS with 26 college credit hours, earning academic financial aid. Graduated in 3 yrs.  His dad quoted as saying he wants to coach.  Might be a White Board Warrior: "  "Lewis for now will continue to put in time in the quarterback meeting room and on the field, doing what he can to help Etling prepare for the LSU opener Sept. 2 against BYU at NRG Stadium in Houston. "We study so much," Etling said. "We even lived together last year during the season. We had a whiteboard in our apartment. We would go home and we would talk about the practice and talk about the look (the defense) would give: 'This is something we think they might do.'" "

In this case, I think the network is likely to be either through McDermott's W&M coach or through Tre'

 

He might just be a mini-camp arm, but if he shows them any physical talent, he might wind up on the practice squad.  He could be smart enough to pick up the offense and contribute in the QB room.

 

Practice squad eligibility rules make my head hurt.  Davis Webb spent time on the Giants 53-man in 2017 and the Jets 53-man in 2018.  100% PS for the Bills in 2019.  Anyone know if he still has PS eligibility?  Bills did sign him to a reserve/futures contract for 2020.
