Once a year, Buffalo Bills defensive back Cam Lewis gathers around a computer with his mom, Yvonne, and his brother, Brandon. The three get together to read personal essays by students at the high school Lewis attended. Lewis grew up around the 7 Mile Area of Detroit and went to Consortium College Prep, which is now called Voyageur College Prep. A couple of years ago, Lewis started a scholarship: the Cam Lewis Voyage to Success Scholarship. Bills cornerback Cam Lewis celebrates a play during a game in Seattle on Oct. 27. “I always wanted to give back in any certain way,” Lewis said. “I was able to get a scholarship coming out of high school, but not a lot of people are able to do that, so just any amount of money that I can give can help them in their college experience.” Every year, he awards $2,000 to five different graduating students, doling out $10,000 total per year. Applications revolve around five different criteria, including an essay that Lewis reads and judges himself, alongside Yvonne and Brandon. The prompt revolves around what students have overcome in their high school career. “It's cool,” Lewis said. “It's a glimpse into all these kids' lives. You never know what they're going through. Everybody goes through different things.” ‘He gives so much back’ This weekend, Lewis will return to Detroit as the Bills head to a major tilt with the 12-1 Lions. It’s an exciting homecoming for Lewis. “It shaped me a lot of different ways, but I’m just glad I grew up in Detroit,” Lewis said. Lewis gets back to Detroit a few times a year. When he does, he always catches up with his high school football coach, John Pittman. Pittman is so proud of how far Lewis has gone in football, and how much he gives when he returns. “Cam, he’s just such a hard worker, and he gives so much back,” Pittman said. “When he comes and talks to a lot of the students, he definitely gives a lot to each program.” Lewis doesn’t just visit Voyageur since Pittman has switched schools a couple of times. Lewis always goes wherever Pittman goes. “Every program I’m a part of, he always comes back, talks to the players, telling them how you know you can make it no matter where you go,” Pittman said. After high school, Lewis went on to play at University at Buffalo. There, he caught the eyes of the Bills. Lewis joined the Bills in 2019 as an undrafted free agent, and he worked his way up from the practice squad to cement a Swiss-army-knife role for the Bills' defense. “I never thought I'd be at this level playing for this long and stuff like that,” Lewis said. “So, anytime I can go back and see and then give some kids some knowledge and stuff like that, I always do that.” His advice takes on the flavor of the city that raised him. “Being from Detroit, you have a mentality that, I guess what we call it, like a hustler's mentality,” Yvonne said. “A hustler's mentality means you always have to go get it, just be a go-getter. So that's like a staple phrase, a hustler mentality for the city. And he's always had that. ... He’s a self motivator.” ‘Let’s just give it a shot’ Yvonne Lewis had her sons play all sorts of sports growing up. Baseball was a favorite for Cam, and he got involved early. When Cam was 5, older brother Brandon had an 8U game, coached by their dad. “We were short a player, and we needed somebody to go in the game,” Yvonne said. “So, they stuck Cameron in here. He was five years old. I was like, ‘Okay, you really going to let him play?’” Yvonne says Cam only came up to about the shoulders of his teammates. He recalls his legs being so much shorter that teammates caught up to him on the base paths. But he didn’t let that stop him. When he got older, Lewis transferred to Voyageur, so he couldn’t play his first year there. He also had a mindset slightly surprising for a player who would go on to play in the NFL. “His sophomore year, when he came in, he told me, he was like, ‘I’m a baseball player,’ ” Pittman said. “I was like, ‘What?’ ” But with Pittman’s encouragement, Lewis began to put more work into football. “ ‘If you think I’m good, then OK, let’s just give it a shot,’ ” Pittman recalls Lewis saying. “ ‘Let’s work at it.’ And it just went from there.” Yvonne had seen how Cam’s determination played out in the past. “Once he put his mind to it, he really says he gets stuck on it,” she said. “It's like his tunnel vision at that point.” Lewis was evolving as the program did, too. “When Cameron got there, that was actually our second season, going into our third season,” Pittman said. “We were actually building the program. So, he actually built the foundation of the program to where it is now today.” The team didn’t have a practice field or even a home field. Lewis remembers it being challenging. He embraced that. “We always go by the saying, ‘Embrace every struggle and live the grind,’ ” Pittman said. “So, we knew it was gonna be a struggle, just having the kids having some way to practice, building a weight room, and just giving them just belief in themselves. Like, ‘Hey, if you guys believe in yourself, sky’s the limit.’ And then they just bought in. It was just brotherhood.” The brotherhood was small. Pittman estimates there were around 24 players on the team. Lewis played all over the field except offensive line, Pittman said. “Relentless,” Pittman said. “He wanted to do it all. I mean, his senior year, we were struggling. We were questioning quarterbacks. He’s like, ‘Coach, give me the ball. I’m the quarterback.’ ” So, play quarterback he did. Lewis said he didn’t throw the ball a ton, but he was ready to step in. “We needed somebody on offense,” he said. “At the time, I was playing both ways, but the majority was just on offense. I was like I need somebody to hand me the ball, at least. I need to make some plays. But it was cool, though.” Bills cornerback Cam Lewis trips up 49ers tight end George Kittle during a game at Highmark Stadium on Dec. 1. An emotional return Lewis’ ability to play anywhere on the field has served him well at football’s highest level. “He can do it all, especially in the secondary,” Pittman said. “He’s not scared to go up against bigger and taller. He’s always been pretty much a smaller guy on the field. But I mean, heart is like a lion.” Now, it’s helping the Bills. Lewis has played a career-high 49% of defensive snaps this season (403 snaps). His previous high was 22% in 2020. “Position flexibility,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said when asked what Lewis means to the team. “Just incredibly valuable for us: playing nickel, playing dime, playing special teams, playing safety. He’s just done a phenomenal job, and fun to watch him grow.” Lewis sees the uptick in both as a reflection of his determination to improve his game and his coaches’ trust in him. On Sunday at Ford Field, Lewis will have a chance to show his growth in front of a massive crowd of family and friends. “Fifty-five total,” Lewis said on expected attendance. “Yeah, it’s gonna be a lot.” Lewis said that number is about normal for when he plays in Detroit. He expects he’ll be a little emotional before the game. It's part of the journey. “I’m just happy to come from such a hustle city, grind city,” he said. “It did shape me to the guy I am today, molded me in the right direction to have my good mindset, my motivation of what I want to do. So yeah, I’m just glad to be from there.” Injury report The Bills’ secondary could be quite depleted Sunday. Cornerback Rasul Douglas (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday’s game. Douglas injured his knee against the Rams, and he did not practice all week. McDermott said ahead of practice that he was not yet ready to name who would start in Douglas’ place. The following Bills players are questionable: tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee), safety Taylor Rapp (neck/shoulder), safety Damar Hamlin (back/ribs), defensive end Casey Toohill (ribs), tight end Quintin Morris (shoulder/groin), offensive lineman Tylan Grable (groin), defensive end Dawuane Smoot (wrist) and linebacker Baylon Spector (calf). Rapp, Hamlin and Toohill were in red noncontact jerseys during the portion of practice open to media. Those three players were limited Friday. For the Lions, linebacker Trevor Nowaske (concussion) has been ruled out. No other Detroit players carry an injury designation.

ESPN’s Pete Thamel was the first to report the move, which will see Malzahn to leave to take the offensive coordinator job at Florida State. Malzahn previously worked with FSU coach Mike Norvell during their time at Tulsa under then-coach Todd Graham from 2007-08. The Knights ended a disappointing 4-8 season in which they lost eight of their last nine games, the longest losing streak since 2015. Malzahn, 59, was in the fourth year of a contract through 2028. His buyout, it is reported, would have been $13.75 million. He finished 27-25 at UCF but lost 16 of his last 22 games and was a dismal 4-14 in two seasons in the Big 12. After back-to-back nine-win seasons in 2021-22, the Knights went 6-7 in 2023 and 4-8 in 2024. This season started with high expectations as Malzahn made sweeping changes to the program. He retooled the strength and conditioning department and hired Ted Roof and Tim Harris Jr. as defensive and offensive coordinators, respectively. He also added nearly 50 new players to the roster, leaning heavily on the transfer market. UCF started by winning its first three games against New Hampshire, Sam Houston and a thrilling comeback at TCU, but offensive struggles saw the Knights tumble through a TBD-game losing streak to finish the season. Terry Mohajir hired Malzahn on Feb. 15, 2021, six days after he was hired to replace Danny White. The move came eight weeks after Malzahn had been fired at Auburn after eight seasons of coaching the Tigers. The two briefly worked together at Arkansas State in 2012 before Malzahn left for the Auburn job. “When he [Mohajir] offered the job, I was like, ‘I’m in.’ There wasn’t thinking about or talking about ...,” Malzahn said during his introductory press conference. “This will be one of the best programs in college football in a short time. This is a job that I plan on being here and building it.” UCF opened the 2021 season with non-conference wins over Boise State and Bethune-Cookman before traveling to Louisville on Sept. 17, where quarterback Dillon Gabriel suffered a fractured collarbone in the final minute of a 42-35 loss. Backup Mikey Keene would finish out the season as Gabriel announced his intention to transfer. The Knights would finish the season on the plus side by accepting a bid to join the Big 12 Conference in September and then by defeating Florida 29-17 in the Gasparilla Bowl. Malzahn struck transfer portal gold in the offseason when he signed former Ole Miss quarterback John Rhys Plumlee. Plumlee, a two-sport star with the Rebels, helped guide UCF to the American Athletic Conference Championship in its final season. However, Plumlee’s injury forced the Knights to go with Keene and freshman Thomas Castellanos. The team finished with losses to Tulane in the conference championship and Duke in the Military Bowl. Plumlee would return in 2023 as UCF transitioned to the Big 12 but would go down with a knee injury in the final minute of the Knights’ 18-16 win at Boise State on Sept. 9. He would miss the next four games as backup Timmy McClain took over the team. Even on his return, Plumlee couldn’t help UCF, on a five-game losing streak to open conference play. The Knights got their first Big 12 win at Cincinnati on Nov. 4 and upset No. 15 Oklahoma State the following week, but the team still needed a win over Houston in the regular-season finale to secure a bowl bid for the eighth straight season. From the moment Malzahn stepped on campus, he prioritized recruiting, particularly in Central Florida. “We’re going to recruit like our hair’s on fire,” Malzahn said at the time. “We’re going to go after the best players in America and we’re not backing down to anybody.” From 2007 to 2020, UCF signed 10 four-star high school and junior college prospects. Eight four-star prospects were in the three recruiting classes signed under Malzahn. The 2024 recruiting class earned a composite ranking of 39 from 247Sports, the highest-ranked class in school history. The 2025 recruiting class is ranked No. 41 and has commitments from three four-star prospects. Malzahn has always leaned on the transfer market, signing 60 players over the past three seasons. Some have paid huge dividends, such as Javon Baker, Lee Hunter, Kobe Hudson, Tylan Grable, Bula Schmidt, Amari Kight, Marcellus Marshall, Trent Whittemore, Gage King, Ethan Barr, Deshawn Pace and Plumlee. Others haven’t been as successful, such as quarterback KJ Jefferson, who started the first five games of this season before being benched for poor performance. Jefferson’s struggles forced the Knights to play musical chairs at quarterback, with true freshman EJ Colson, redshirt sophomore Jacurri Brown and redshirt freshman Dylan Rizk all seeing action at one point or another this season. This season’s struggles led to several players utilizing the NCAA’s redshirt rule after four games, including starting slot receiver Xavier Townsend and kicker Colton Boomer, who have also entered the transfer portal. Defensive end Kaven Call posted a letter to Malzahn on Twitter in which he accused the UCF coaching staff of recently kicking him off the team when he requested to be redshirted.
