Lee had a 31″ vertical jump and did 20 reps of 225 pounds on the bench. He completed the 20-yard shuttle at 4.34 seconds.
He was spotted talking with scouts from the Giants and the Steelers after he finished. Patriots head coach, Bill Belichick, was impressed with Lee’s footwork.

The 6’3″, 240-pounder looked confident when speaking to the press and when asked about how it went with the scouts he said he “got good feedback.” He also said that he thinks his best avenue for the NFL would be with special teams.

Lee played as a true freshman in 2012 for Alabama.
He proved to be very versatile in his four seasons with the Tide, playing several different positions in the linebacker corps and on special teams.
