Overview

Overview

Finally got his chance to be a full-time starter in 2007 after David Irons left for the NFL. Lee took advantage of the situation with four interceptions. He was a part-time starter for two years and a good special teams player his freshman year, and he'll need to perform on those coverage units to ensure his roster spot.

Analysis

Analysis

Positives: Has the triangle numbers teams love. ... That size helps him match up well against larger receivers. ... Is best on sideline patterns when he can turn and run, or in zone when he can close on the play in front of him. ... Has the strength to create turnovers and prevent yards after the catch. ... May get a shot as a kick returner because of his size and speed (averaged 25.8 yards on 11 returns in 2007).


Negatives: Not a full-time starter until his senior year. ... Doesn't get a great jam on the line despite his size. ... Struggles to maintain his balance against quicker receivers, either mugging them to get to the ball or falling away, leaving them open. ... His backpedal is slow and high, and his change of direction skills are less than ideal.
