Scouting Report:
Lee is an experienced, versatile player that is a short area operator and an effective help blocker on double teams in pass protection and down blocks in the run game. Lee has flashes as a tight grip but overall has inaccurate inside hands. Lee has a small strike zone to get hands on with his short arms. Lee is at his best reacting with a short area twitch, being patient and controlling a tight area in pass protection or proving a quick pop with good pad level with inside or outside leverage as a run blocker. Lee has good stunt awareness but lacks the desired contact balance, struggling to anchor up and survive blows to the upper body, typically knocking him off balance or to the ground. While he has short area twitch his hips are very stiff, limiting his vertical drive once engaged with blockers. Lee will be limited at the next level but can provide value to an organization with his intelligence and positional versatility.
