Lewis was invited to the All-Big Ten defensive first-team by both the media and coaches following the 2015 season.

Professional career
Lewis, and colleagues Chris Wormley and Ben Gedeon had all accepted their invitations to attend the 2017 Senior Bowl on January 10, 2017. He made four combined tackles and had a strong coverage under Chicago Bears head coach John Fox as a member of the North team, losing 16-15 to the South on January 28, 2017. Lewis was invited to the NFL combine as a top-ten cornerback. He attended and completed the majority of drills, but opted to skip the short shuttle and three-cone drills. On March 18, he decided to attend Michigan's Pro Day. Lewis opted for a 40-yard dash (4.47), 20-yard dash (1.59), short shuttle (4.38), and a three-cone drill (6.88) for representatives and scouts from all 32 NFL clubs. Lewis' mother accused him of dragging her across the floor and putting his hands around her neck, but Lewis denied it, saying he didn't touch her. He pleaded not guilty, but it was likely to influence his draft stock. Lewis' draft estimates varied from the second or third round to as low as the sixth or seventh round, mainly due to his misdemeanor domestic violence charges. (Lewis was later found not guilty.) NFL analyst Mel Kiper Jr. ranked him as the sixth best cornerback prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com.
Lewis was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the third round (92nd overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. He was the 14th cornerback pick in 2017. Lewis was signed by the Dallas Cowboys to a four-year, $3.24 million contract, which also includes a signing bonus of $753,428.
He had been scheduled to compete with Orlando Scandrick, Chidobe Awuzie, Anthony Brown, and Nolan Carroll for a career as the starting pointback, but he sustained a hamstring injury during his first training camp session and missed all of the preseason.
Lewis made his professional regular season debut against the Denver Broncos on September 17, after being a healthy scratch for their season-opener. Carroll played his first game after suffering a concussion and intercepted six solo tackles and intercepted his first pass of his career off of Bronco quarterback Trevor Siemian in a 42-17 loss. In a 28–17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, he made his first appearance in his place of Carroll, had six solo tackles, deflected a pass, earning his first career start in place of Carroll. He sustained a hamstring injury during the game and was questionable going into the following week.
In the Cowboys' 35-31 loss, he made his second appearance in his career debut and collected seven combined tackles and a season-high three pass deflections. Lewis converted an 11-yard game-winning touchdown with 11 seconds remaining in the game to Davante Adams due to Aaron Rodgers' back shoulder fade. Lewis was mocked by FS1 analyst Skip Bayless, who attributed the touchdown to the height difference between Adams (6'2") and Lewis (5'10"). Lewis Carroll was recalled by the Cowboys on October 8, making Lewis Lewis the starting right cornerback due to his appearances.
Lewis ended the 2018 season with 12 combined tackles, one intercept, one pass defense, and two fumble recoveries in 15 games.
Lewis scored an interception off Sam Darnold in week 6 against the New York Jets, defeating him 24–22.
