Former NFL All-Pro, Grambling cornerback Albert Lewis in critical care

SHREVEPORT, Louisiana -- 15-year NFL cornerback and Mansfield native Albert Lewis remains hospitalized with an undisclosed illness Wednesday morning.

Sources tell KSLA Sports that Lewis, who played his college football at Grambling State, was admitted to a Shreveport hospital Monday evening and has since been in the critical care unit.

His immediate condition is not known.



The 57-year-old DeSoto High School graduate enjoyed a college career with the Tigers highlighted by two first-team All-SWAC honors in three seasons from 1981 to 1983.

In 1983, the Kansas City Chiefs selected Lewis in the third round of the NFL Draft.

Ultimately, it would lead to three All-Pro selections and four Pro Bowl selections for Kansas City (1983-1993) and the Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders (1994-1998).
