Derrick Lewis (born October 30, 1975, in New Orleans, Louisiana) is a former American football wide receiver.

He was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2002 with the New Orleans Saints and spent two years with the Saints before spending two years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He signed with the Houston Texans as a free agent in 2006. The spring before, Lewis started as an offensive specialist for the Arena Football League's Austin Wranglers. While a Wrangler, Lewis broke the record for single-season receptions, in addition to being considered by many a beneficial component for the Wranglers' first ever playoff berth in franchise history. Lewis played his first year of organized football at Sacramento City College in 1998 and caught 34 passes. He transferred to San Diego State in 1999.[1]
