I really appreciate that. Green Bay will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m incredibly grateful for that chapter, but I truly believe life is about continuing to evolve. This next chapter is different, but the mindset is the same, keep learning, keep growing, and embrace whatever challenge comes next.

Onward & Upward ✨

[Marcedes Lewis @MarcedesLewis89]

After 20 seasons in the NFL, I thought I understood discipline, pressure, and resilience.

What most people don’t know about me is that I’ve spent almost every offseason training MMA. Quietly, it’s been one of the biggest contributors to my longevity and a huge reason I was able to play this game for 20 seasons. Now, for the first time in my life, I have the freedom to fully immerse myself in it, not just as offseason training, but as a student of the art.

Football taught me how to compete. MMA, and especially jiu jitsu, is teaching me humility. Every session exposes your preparation, your composure, and your ego. There’s no hiding, no excuses, only truth.

The greatest lesson isn’t learning how to submit someone. It’s learning to stay calm, solve problems, and improve your position when life puts you in a bad one. That lesson extends far beyond the mats.

@DaWash20 Respect brother, always taking it one day at a time, aiming to be my personal best every opportunity o have. 🫡

[Marcedes Lewis @MarcedesLewis89]

@AlexCroweFFB It’s not my base, but I do train it. I’m always looking to learn techniques that complement and translate to my style. That’s one of the things I love most about martial arts, there’s always something to add to your game.

[Marcedes Lewis @MarcedesLewis89]

@dadswholift Absolutely .. The two coexist on a parallel path. Discipline is what protects your health, and investing in your health reinforces your discipline. You really can’t maximize one without committing to the other.

Sorry to hear that, bro. But I love that you’ve got your little one experiencing new movements, that’s one of the best decisions you could make.

And thank you for the support .. It’s definitely helping fill the void, and it’s something I’ve looked forward to for a long time after my football career expired.

[Marcedes Lewis @MarcedesLewis89]

@CalvinMontanaa Hahaha, I’m at peace and really enjoying this exhale, to be fair.

But .. never say never.

Matt’s my guy. If my services were ever needed again, he’s on the very short list of coaches I’d come back for.

[Marcedes Lewis @MarcedesLewis89]

Had my football career been shorter, it would’ve been a no-brainer.

I don’t think I’ll ever compete, but MMA definitely fills the void. It’s become a huge part of my life, and something I’ve dedicated myself to every offseason for nearly 13 years now.

Now I get to indulge .. The challenge, the constant learning, and the humility of the mma keeps me grounded.
