Will Lee III’s NFL Draft Potential
Will Lee III entered the season as one of my top CB prospects, and while others have risen past him, Lee has at least maintained his standing as a Day 2 candidate. Lapses in technique and discipline still plague Lee at times, and teams have been able to target him on big plays on more than one occasion.
Nevertheless, Lee still displays the tantalizing combination of length, short-area quickness, and snappy fluidity that makes him such a compelling cover man, and he still exudes competitive energy and toughness in contact situations as well.
Lee’s length and physicality, combined with his matching athleticism, should earn the intrigue of press-man heavy teams, but he also has the ability to anticipate and make speed turns in zone.
