Scouting Report: Strengths
- Lee has the size and strength to stack and shed blockers and is especially fierce when moving downhill against the run.
- He has good quickness and an excellent understanding of angles, often beating blockers to the spot.
- Closes quickly on relatively immobile quarterbacks. A consistently heavy hitter who flashes explosiveness and the ability to separate the ball.
- Lee shows good quickness off the line of scrimmage and flashes the violent hands to win around the edge.
- Flashes strength to punch or stiff-arm to get off blocks. Stays with plays downfield, often making tackles even after being hit by multiple linemen.
- Good key and diagnosis skills. Quickly locates the ball and shows no wasted motion in getting there. At least adequate lateral agility to avoid blockers and shows good vision and anticipation.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Needs work on angles and· finding receivers in zone. Does not possess elite quickness. Fails to break down at times, grabbing shoulder pads and lunging to allow ballcarriers to elude him.
- As a run defender, he’s too much of a grab-and-drag tackler, lacking violence and too frequently allowing running backs to escape.
- Relies on speed and a bull rush when asked to rush the passer with no developed technique.
