41-Year-Old Free Agent Tight End Marcedes Lewis Works Out for Broncos

Free agent tight end Marcedes Lewis, at 41 years old, worked out for the Denver Broncos today, indicating he may get a chance to play this season after expressing his desire to do so during the offseason. A 2006 first-round pick of the Jaguars, Lewis played 12 seasons in Jacksonville, five in Green Bay, and the last two in Chicago. Last season, he appeared in all 17 games but saw limited playing time, catching only one pass for two yards. Denver is in need of tight end help due to injuries to Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull, and failed waiver claims for Brendan Bates and Ben Sims. Lewis is already the oldest player to ever play tight end in NFL history, and if he signs with any team, he would become the second-oldest active player in the NFL, behind Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is five months his senior.
