A former Attala County standout is getting his shot at professional football.
Percy Lewis, a Sallis native and McAdams High School graduate, has signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League following the 2026 NFL Draft.
Lewis, an offensive lineman known for his massive size at roughly 6-foot-7 and nearly 390 pounds, was not selected during the draft but quickly found an opportunity at the professional level.
He most recently played for the Ole Miss Rebels football, capping off a college career that also included stops at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, Mississippi State, and Auburn.
The Canadian Football League often serves as a proving ground for players looking to continue their careers and potentially work their way onto NFL rosters.
