PITTSBURGH (AP)—Dion Lewis is proving that a running back doesn’t need to be 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds to make a big impression, even during his first few weeks in a major college program.
Lewis, who graduated from high school only 3 1/2 months ago, may be pulling away in the race to succeed LeSean McCoy as the starting running back in Pitt’s offense. McCoy surpassed many of Tony Dorsett’s freshman and sophomore statistics at Pitt, but left school after two seasons to enter the NFL draft.
