James Lewandowski (born January 7, 1999) is an American football tight end for the Baltimore Hawks of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). He played college football for Temple University and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

James Lewandowski was born in an alley on the streets of Trenton, New Jersey. He was youngest of 7 children. His parents, disgusted at the thought of taking care of another unwanted child, gave up on him at an early age. James was left to fend for himself in numerous foster homes throughout the city of Philadelphia. His only outlet was football. He put all of his passion into the sport he loved. Eventually, the hard work paid off. He was given a walk-on roster spot at Temple Univeristy where he had to scratch and claw to prove his worth to the coaches. In his final year at Temple, he was a full-time starter and the one true bright spot on a mediocre football team.

College career

Lewandowski was a well-rounded athlete who also excelled in basketball in high school. He graduated from Temple with a double major in marketing and management. In his final season at Temple, James had 77 catches and 12 receiving touchdowns. His head coach, Sal Michigas, stated that James was the best tight end they have had in over a decade. After graduating with honors, James has been working out with professional trainers hoping that a scout will notice him. His dream is to land a spot on a professional team in the NSFL in 2020.

DSFL Season 2035

Entering his first DSFL season, Lewandowski was looking to earn respect. He was drafted by the Norfolk Seawolves and had a respectable first campaign, finishing with 44 receptions for 350 yards and one touchdown. In his best game of the season, he snagged 5 receptions for 50 yards against the Luchadores, and also hauled in his only touchdown of the season. He had his second best game of the year against the Grey Ducks with 5 catches for 55 yards. He played in all 14 games and just like his career in college, he did not miss a game due to injury. James prides himself on his ability to stay healthy for his team, and his contributions on and off the field make him an interesting prospect. He does not drink, he goes to bed early, and he starts the daily workout grind at 5am. He is usually the first player at practice and the last player to leave. His work ethic has even made it so teammates with much more talent look to him for advice and guidance in their life. He is an amazing locker room presence and is a dedicated team player. This pattern started back in grade school, continued through high school and college, and remains an important part of his daily life. The NSFL is buzzing about Lewandowski, and he expects to make a big impact this year. His consistent season for Norfolk turned some heads in the NSFL, and numerous scouts reached out to Lewandowski prior to the S21 draft. Following the season, he was selected by the Baltimore Hawks in the 7th Round of the S21 NSFL Draft.

DSFL Season 2036

In his second season with the Norfolk Seawolves, Lewandowski had another solid campaign. He finished the season with 47 catches, 387 yards and all 2 Touchdowns. Those were all career highs. In addition, he was very solid as a blocker with 21 pancakes. In 2 full seasons he has allowed only sack on the line. He had his best game in week 8 against the Pythons, hauling in 6 catches for 63 yards. He had 5 or more catches in 5 games this season, which he only accomplished only 3 times in 2035. He was only flagged for 1 penalty in 2036, which is 5 less than last season. His worst game came in Week 9 against Kansas City, finishing with zeros across the entire stat line. Lewandowski had a strong finish to the regular season, with 13 total catches in the final 3 games. Unfortunately, he was unable to keep the momentum going, and he had a very disappointing playoff game against Myrtle Beach, yielding only 2 catches for 15 yards and a penalty. His 47 catches was the league high in the DSFL among Tight Ends, and his name was mentioned in numerous articles as a potential Award Winner for Tight End of the Year. Despite his two consecutive solid seasons, Lewandowski is expected to play in the DSFL again in 2037. It seems that the NSFL's Baltimore Hawks do not have a spot for him on the roster yet. Lewandowski has patiently been waiting his turn, and he expects to lead the the DSFL in catches once again for TEs. He believes that Norfolk is primed for a run at the Ultimini this coming season.

NSFL Season 2037

In his first season in the NSFL, Lewandowski was a member of the Baltimore Hawks. He finished the season with 35 catches for 300 yards. His normally solid line blocking took a step backwards in his first NSFL season, with only 11 pancakes and 2 sacks allowed. He had his best game in week 11 against the Liberty, hauling in 4 catches for 41 yards. He hauled in 4 or more reception on three occasions, and had at least 2 catches in 11 of the 13 games this season. Lewandowski had a strong start to the regular season, with 11 total catches in the first 3 games, and also had a strong finish to the regular season, with 10 total catches in the final 3 games. However, the passing game was inconsistent and he struggled to be targeted by Hawks QB Fujiwara. Despite those issues, his 35 catches was good enough for second on the team behind future Hall of Famer Errol Maddox's 37. His 8.6 yard average per catch was third in the league among Tight Ends. Baltimore's entire pass offense struggled, and that helped lead to the diminishing numbers for Lewandowski. Many pundits expect the Hawks to bounce back next season from a disappointing 3 and 10 campaign. Lewandowski was quoted as saying he expects to have at least 50 catches and 5 touchdowns next season. He said those goals are lofty, but he is intent on focusing his attention on being an offensive leader and believes he can be the next great NSFL Tight End. Lewandowski is ready for S23 and doesn't back down from a challenge.
