> Personally, I believe Lee is better as a click-and-close cornerback, who is able to see the route develop from an off alignment and can snap to the route from depth because of his athleticism. There are times when he’s able to cover drag routes from depth, which is pretty rare from an athleticism and read-and-react standpoint. That’s how he wins.

> He plays through receivers’ hands and has the athleticism to undercut routes, but he also loses at the top of routes and in contested catch situations a good bit. I actually think he plays a little smaller than the 6’1”, 189 pounds that scouts estimate him at. I’m not worried about his tackling ability, though, as he runs through tackle attempts and is pretty violent at the point of attack because of how sudden he is.

> Lee looks like a Day 2 cornerback to me, but I think he needs a good home. Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator [Jonathan Gannon has run more quarters over the last five seasons than any individual NFL team](/green-bay-packers-coaching-staff/78782/jonathan-gannon-will-bring-the-quarters-revolution-back-to-green-bay), which means that he’s putting his cornerbacks in off-coverage read-and-react situations frequently. I actually really like the Packers as a landing spot for Lee, considering his strengths and weaknesses.
