EAGAN (AP) — The path that
led Lewis Cine to pro football has
taken plenty of turns, with more
life experiences packed into 22
years than the typical NFL rookie.
If he doesn’t crack the starting

“Nothing

that, but I know
there’s a place for me on the de-

the majority of training camp on
the second team behind Harrison
Smith and Camryn Bynum. “I know
I’m going to contribute somewhere,
defense and special teams, so take
my spot and take my assignment
and do the best way I can.”
