Lewan was immediately thrust into the starting left tackle position for the Titans as a rookie. He responded by earning all-rookie honors and being named one of the team’s co-captains. While Mike Mularkey stripped Lewan of that captaincy (citing experience) when he took over for Ken Whisenhunt, Lewan still played well in 2015. He struggled early in his second year, but was lights’ out the second half of the season. Lewan has showed plenty of promise and looks to be a staple at LT for the Titans for years to come.
