In this exclusive “4th and Forever” web extra, Marcedes Lewis, NFL star and tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars, talks about life as a Poly student and football player. Marcedes gives graduating seniors advice for their future. After high school, Lewis went on to star at UCLA where he won the John Mackey Award as college football’s top tight end his senior year. He was a first round pick in 2006 and set the Jaguars record for receiving touchdowns in a season last year. This campaign earned him a Pro Bowl selection.

Marcedes Lewis Video:

4th and Forever” chronicles the 2010 football season of Long Beach Polytechnic High School, touted by Sports Illustrated as the “Sports School of the Century” and boasts the largest roster of high school players who have gone on to the NFL. After decades of success, Poly had a down year in 2009. They had their worst season in 15 years and lost to local rival Lakewood for the first time in over 25 years. After years of being pegged as “the team to beat,” the aura of invincibility is gone. The players are worried that their hopes for a college scholarship have dimmed. The clock is ticking and the question is: Can Head Football Coach Raul Lara pull the team together for one more season of greatness? And, can the players avoid the temptations of the street, succeed in the classroom, and emerge victorious on the field?

“4th and Forever“ will premiere tomorrow, May 26th at 9:00 PM ET on Current TV!
