During his collegiate career at Ohio State, Darron Lee, who was selected by the Jets in the first round of the NFL draft, was viewed as one of the more athletic linebackers in the nation.

Blessed with the speed of a corner and the physicality of a lineman, Lee was a defensive coordinator’s dream. Sure, he could play in the box. . . but he could also lineup outside and go 1-on-1 with tight ends, slot receivers or even an opponent’s top target– Lee himself admitted he once was tasked with covering now-Raiders stud Amari Cooper.

Lee was versatile, no doubt. But then again, that’s nothing new.

In high school, Lee played quarterback, among other positions, for New Albany. He wasn’t bad, either, earning a 3-star rating from Rivals as an athlete.
