Marcedes Lewis Is Going To Continue MMA Training In Off-Season

Last year during the lockout Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis stayed in shape by doing Mixed Martial Arts training under Fox Sports NFL reporter Jay Glazer.

Lewis followed up his off-season MMA experience by having one of the more disappointing seasons of his career. Lewis had no touchdown receptions in 2011 after signing a lucrative five-year contract worth $34 million following his 10 touchdown performance in 2010.

This week, Glazer talked to Paul Kuharsky of ESPN.com and blamed Lewis’ disappointing season on distractions.

“It’s a mental game, too. He had a bunch of distractions,” Glazer said. “He was distracted from doing what he was expected to do, and he knew it, too.”

Glazer followed that up by stating that Lewis plans on continuing his MMA training this off-season.

I have no problem with Lewis taking up an off-season hobby that will keep him in peak physical condition, but only if he is Jacksonville when he needs to be during the off-season training program with the Jaguars and new head coach Mike Mularkey.

Lewis needs to become a reliable target for his young quarterback Blaine Gabbert, and showing up to the off-season camps is the perfect time to work on their chemistry.
