Here is a story, written by our sister paper the Delco Times in Pennsylvania about former Albany Academy star Dion Lewis.

Following an impressive preseason, Lewis made the 53-man Philadelphia Eagles roster.

Below are some videos of Lewis talking about learning the game at the NFL level and returning kicks, something he's expected to do during his rookie season.

Former Albany Academy standout Dion Lewis could be in store for big things as we are less than one month from his sophomore season at the University of Pittsburgh.

Lewis was The Record's Football Offensive Player of the Year in 2006, when he helped lead the Cadets to the Carrier Dome and the Class B State Title game.

Sports Illustrated has an article on Lewis and West Vriginia's Noel Devine as two pint-sized running backs who are turning heads and could be Heisman candidates.
