Woodley Carl Lewis, Jr. (June 14, 1925 – December 29, 2000) played end, wide receiver, and defensive back in the National Football League. He played eleven seasons for the Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Cardinals, and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football for the University of Oregon.

In 1948, he was a teammate of Norm Van Brocklin and was the starting halfback (he missed 3 games with an injury). Oregon tied with California for the title of the Pacific Coast Conference, forerunner of the Pac-12. California was undefeated overall, and Oregon’s only loss was at undefeated Michigan, that year’s national champions. Oregon did not go to the Rose Bowl, however, because Cal was voted by the other schools to represent the PCC in the game. They would lose 21-13 in the Cotton Bowl against Southern Methodist University. He also became the first African-American to play in the Cotton Bowl Stadium. In 1949, he led the nation in kickoff returns, ranked seventh in pass interceptions (8) and led his team in rushing with 473 yards (6.8-yard average).

He finished his college eligibility as the school’s record-holder in career kickoff return average (34.1 avg.), single-season return average (43.2), career rushing yards per carry (5.6), longest punt return (92 yards against Oregon State, 1949) and longest kickoff return (102 yards against Colorado, 1949).

In 1999, he was inducted into the University of Oregon Athletics Hall of Fame.
