Sun staffer Jamison Hensley, advised readers that Jamal Lewis speed came from running sprints. His strength came from lifting weights. The blending of those talents to create a one-track mind came from his father, a railroad worker.
"As a kid, my dad always told me, Dont let guys hit you, deliver the blow first, " Lewis said. "Thats my mentality. I like to break peoples will and drive them down. Thats a beautiful thing to watch them fold."
