Wide Receivers
Biography
Greg Lewis is in his first season with the Titans and his 12th season coaching in the NFL following an eight-year NFL playing career (2003-10). He joined the Titans after a three-year stint as wide receivers coach with the Baltimore Ravens.
Lewis' three seasons with the Ravens (2023-25) coincided with wide receiver Zay Flowers's first three NFL seasons. During that span, Flowers totaled 237 receptions, ranking 11th in the NFL with 3,128 receiving yards and 13th in the league with 30 receptions of 25-plus yards. Flowers earned Pro Bowl honors in 2024 and 2025.
In 2025, Flowers notched his second consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season, establishing career highs with 86 receptions, 1,211 receiving yards and five touchdown catches (tied career high).
Among all wide receiver rooms in 2024, Lewis' unit led the NFL in yards per reception (15.5) and finished second in yards after the catch per reception (5.9). Flowers recorded 74 receptions for a then-career-high 1,059 yards and four scores, en route to becoming the first wideout in franchise history to earn Pro Bowl honors. Rashod Bateman set career highs in receiving yards (756) and touchdowns (nine).
Lewis guided a room in 2023 that included Nelson Agholor, Rashod Bateman, Odell Beckham Jr. and Flowers, who was a rookie. The receivers contributed to an offense that ranked fourth in scoring (28.4 points per game) and No. 6 in total yards (370.4 yards per game). Flowers registered franchise rookie records in receptions (77) and receiving yards (858).
Prior to his time with the Ravens, Lewis worked with the Chiefs running backs (2021-22) and wide receivers (2017-20).
In 2022, he helped the Chiefs to a victory in Super Bowl LVII. Kansas City's rushing attack tied (Chicago and Minnesota) for the NFL's seventh-most rushing touchdowns (18) and posted the league's eighth-highest yards-per-carry average (4.7). Lewis oversaw the development of Isiah Pacheco, who finished fourth in rushing yards (830) and second in rushing touchdowns (five) among rookies. Against the Eagles in the Super Bowl, the Chiefs notched 158 rushing yards and one touchdown on 26 carries.
In 2021, Lewis guided a Chiefs rushing attack that posted the NFL's No. 7 yards-per-carry average (4.5) and also converted third-down rushes into first downs at the NFL's second-highest clip (69.8 percent). Running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Williams formed one of three NFL tandems (Denver's Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams; Green Bay's A.J. Dillon and Aaron Jones) to each produce at least 500 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns and multiple touchdown receptions.
Coaching Kansas City's wide receivers in 2020, Lewis' receivers contributed to an offense that boasted the NFL's most receiving yards (5,005) and yards after the catch (2,461), while tying for the third-most touchdown grabs (40). Wide receiver Tyreek Hill earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors during a campaign that saw him tie the Chiefs' single-season record for receiving touchdowns (15), while tallying the NFL's eighth-most receiving yards (1,276). The Chiefs finished as AFC Champions for the second-straight year.
In 2019, Kansas City's wide receivers posted a 14.9 yards-per-reception average (sixth), 1,046 yards after the catch (third) and 21 receiving touchdowns (third), while Mecole Hardman ranked No. 1 in the NFL with an average of 20.7 yards per reception. Kansas City defeated San Francisco to win Super Bowl LIV.
In 2018, Chiefs wideouts recorded the NFL's third-highest yards-per-reception average (14.4) and second-most touchdown grabs (25) for the league's highest scoring offense (35.3) and best total offense (425.6). Tyreek Hill set a single-season franchise record with 1,479 receiving yards along with 12 touchdowns, which both ranked fourth in the NFL.
In 2017, Kansas City's wide receivers averaged 13.8 yards per reception (sixth) and a league-high 5.8 yards after the catch for the NFL's fifth-best total offense (375.4).
Lewis' first full-time NFL coaching job was as an offensive assistant with the New Orleans Saints in 2015, and in 2016 he was the wide receivers coach with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Lewis was a wide receivers coach at the college level for three total seasons (2012-14) before re-entering the NFL as a coach on a full-time basis. In 2014, he was at the University of Pittsburgh and tutored wide receiver Tyler Boyd, who ranked second in the Atlantic Coast Conference with 1,261 yards, earning a first-team AII-ACC honors. Boyd was later selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round (55th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Coaching the San Jose State wide receivers in 2013, Lewis helped Chandler Jones become a first-team All-Mountain West selection after posting 79 receptions for 1,356 yards and a single-season school-record 15 touchdowns. Tyler Winston finished with 58 receptions for 858 yards, including an FBS freshman-high four 100-yard receiving games, en route to being named Mountain West Freshman of the Year.
Lewis' first year in coaching was in 2012 with the University of San Diego. He led a group of wideouts that totaled 2,287 yards, 182 receptions and 21 touchdowns to help the Toreros finish 8-3 overall, including 7-1 in the Pioneer Football League, and win their second-consecutive league championship.
Also in 2012, Lewis was a Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellow with the Philadelphia Eagles during training camp and preseason.
Lewis enjoyed an eight-year NFL playing career with the Philadelphia Eagles (2003-08) and Minnesota Vikings (2009-10). In 116 career games (29 starts), he totaled 152 receptions for 1,992 yards (13.1 avg.) and eight touchdowns. His time with the Eagles was highlighted by a 30-yard fourth quarter touchdown reception in Super Bowl XXXIX. In his first game with the Vikings (Sept. 27, 2009), he made a 32-yard tightrope catch in the back of the end zone with two seconds left to lift Minnesota past the San Francisco 49ers, 27-24, and the catch went on to earn Lewis a share of the ESPY Award for "Best Play" with then-Vikings quarterback Brett Favre.
Lewis appeared in 44 games over four years (1999-2002) as a standout walk-on for the University of Illinois, tallying 103 receptions for 1,456 yards (14.1 avg.) and 12 scores. As a junior in 2001, he helped the Fighting Illini to a 12-2 record, the Big Ten championship and a berth in the Sugar Bowl.
Lewis earned his degree in speech communications from Illinois in 2002.
The Chicago native prepped at Rich South (Richton Park, Ill.) High School, where his No. 8 jersey was retired in 2004.
He and his wife have four children.
