Lee was a great pick for the Jets, polarizing, and fans should fully expect him to prove to be a very successful selection. Stop making the comparison to Vernon Gholston. Expect Lee to present his versatility and make plays across the field. Bowles can suggest that Lee will play inside, but expect movement from him every Sunday. That will not matter given the skills Lee brings to the field: quickness, athleticism, flexibility, coverage ability and sideline-to-sideline range.

Lee totaled 146 tackles (27 for loss), 11 sacks, three interceptions and three forced fumbles with Ohio State.
