Jamal Lafitte Lewis (born August 26, 1979 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American football player who currently plays running back for the Baltimore Ravens. He attended the University of Tennessee and wears #31. Lewis was the #5 pick overall in the 2000 NFL draft, and in his rookie season, rushed for over 1,000 yards, supplanting Priest Holmes as the team's starting RB.

In 2003, Lewis nearly set a new NFL single-season rushing record by rushing for 2,066 yards, leading the league. He finished second all-time, to Eric Dickerson, and joined Dickerson, Terrell Davis, Barry Sanders, and O.J. Simpson as the only backs in NFL history to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a single season. During that season, Lewis also broke the single game rushing record by running for 295 yards against the Cleveland Browns. Lewis was rewarded by being named NFL Offensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press.
