I was reading this morning that he's yet to give up a single pressure this preseason. I know it's just preseason, but it's definitely something positive to take note of. Another thing that I noticed is that he's got great awareness in the way that when blocking and a defender turns up field, he releases from his block. For many rookies that would almost always end up in a holding call.
Lee has definitely earned a spot on the 53 because he's the guy I don't think will make it through waivers. On the other hand I would hate to see him not get his redshirt year because the reason he was a 7th rounder has not changed he needs to get bigger and stronger. The Pass Block stats are nice but I want to see him dig out NTs in short yardage which he will see alot more of...
