"Why was Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew such a successful running back at UCLA?

To hear him tell it, it's because of Marcedes Lewis.

Jones-Drew was asked today about Lewis's blocking ability, despite coming out of UCLA known as more of a pass-catching tight end. Jones-Drew countered by saying he always followed Lewis's blocks and when Lewis left school, he figured it was time for him to leave, too.

"My last two years in college I ran the ball behind Marcedes and that was it," Jones-Drew said. "I always ran it to the strong side, never to the weak side. No one really knew that until we got to the NFL because I think out of the 970 yards I had in my third year, 800 of them were coming behind Marcedes and it was ironic that teams didn't catch on that."

Jones-Drew added that Lewis has always been a phenomenal blocker even though his size when he was younger led people to think he wasn't."
