Buccaneers, Myron Lewis agree to four-year deal

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed rookie cornerback Myron Lewis to a four-year contract, per the Tampa Tribune.

Lewis, who was the team's third-round pick (67th overall), is the second Buccaneer rookie to sign. (Wide receiver Mike Williams has also signed.)

"He's a big, tall, athletic corner with great ball skills," general manager Mark Dominik said shortly after drafting Lewis. "He's a good tackler, a great kid off the field as well. He's got very good feet for such a big man. Part of what we wanted to do here is build a bigger football team, and I believe we did that with his selection."

Expected to compete as the team's nickel corner, Lewis had four interceptions last year at Vanderbilt, where he started 36 games in his collegiate career.
