The Countdown 2009: 57 Days to Go

57

Jersey number for former linebacker Mo Lewis, who played for the Dawgs from 1987-1990. Lewis would go onto to a Pro Bowl career in the NFL. Lewis is most famous for making the hit below on Patriots QB Drew Bledsoe in 2001 that knocked him out for the remainder of the season. This allowed a low round draft pick from Michigan by the name of Tom Brady take over and the rest is history.

So, what you're saying is...Mo Lewis is responsible for the Patriots' dynasty in the new millenium. Sounds good to me.

Along with Richard Seymour, Ben Watson, Patrick Pass...am I forgetting anybody?

Bill Belichick ought to be sending a portion of his salary to Athens.

Great job on this countdown!
