Early life

Lewis grew up in Orem, Utah and played football at Orem High School. During High School Chad worked at Riverside Country Club. Before attending college, Lewis served as an LDS missionary for two years in Taichung, Taiwan where he learned to speak Mandarin.

College career

After walking on at Brigham Young University, Lewis finished his collegiate career with 111 receptions for 1,376 yards, and ten touchdowns. As a junior, he was an All-WAC first-team choice, and a UPI All-American honorable mention.

Professional career

Lewis signed as an undrafted free agent for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1997. After playing 2½ seasons with the Eagles he was signed by the St. Louis Rams for only one season. Lewis won a Super Bowl title with the Rams in 1999 (Super Bowl XXXIV over the Tennessee Titans). Lewis was re-signed by the Eagles and caught the game clinching touchdown pass in the 2005 NFC Championship game. However, during this reception, Lewis suffered a serious foot injury that kept him out of the Super Bowl XXXIX loss to the New England Patriots.

In 2002 the NFL sent Lewis to Taiwan, Singapore and Thailand to promote the NFL. Since then he has visited China five times to give interviews and help with football clinics. He has also spoken at the Fourth of July celebration in China.[1]

In 2009 Lewis released a memoir, Surround Yourself With Greatness, and in 2010 he returned to BYU as an Associate Athletic Director. [2]
