He played in 170 games with 157 starts in 12 seasons with the Jaguars and joined WRs Jimmy Smith (12,287) and Keenan McCardell (6,393) as the only players in team history to record 4,000-plus career receiving yards (4,502).

Lewis ranks No. 3 in Jaguars history in receptions (375) and No. 2 in receiving TDs (33). He started all five postseason games he played in for Jacksonville, recording 10 receptions (No. 4 in franchise history) for 111 yards (11.1 avg.) and a TD.

Lancaster originally signed with the Packers as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Northwestern in 2018. He has played in 43 regular-season games with 18 starts over the past three seasons, recording 92 tackles (48 solo), six tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, three QB hits, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a pass defensed.

Lancaster has also seen action in four postseason contests, starting three, and has posted 10 tackles (five solo).
