Open field, 1 on 1 against Derrick Henry, and Lee doesn’t even come close. Given, it is Derrick Henry, but Lee is going to have to put up a much better effort than this if he hopes to have success in the NFL.

Lee’s speed is on display in this clip. Quick first step and he gets to the QB in a hurry, forcing a bad throw.

Lee gets caught flat-footed in man coverage here. His matchup breaks right in front of him and then makes the catch.

Another example of Lee’s lack of physicality. His ability to take blockers on is subpar and is going to be a major issue if he can’t drastically improve in this area.

In coverage, Lee quickly closes on the receiver and lays a perfectly timed hit, causing an incompletion.

In this clip, Lee gets knocked over by a WR, and he isn’t even hit that hard. Notice a theme yet with Lee?
