<p style="font-size:12px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Lewis’ final year in College Station was Manziel’s freshman year … when he won the Heisman Trophy.

<p style="font-size:12px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">“He’s worked hard and has established himself as one of the top prospects in the draft,” Lewis said. “We had a special relationship on the field, being the center and quarterback.
