Interview:
Lee and I would talk about his last year at Rhode Island.
“Last season I had my best year, led the conference with 56 rec, 908 yds, five tds which was the nineth most yds in school history. Also averaged 11.5 yds per punt return. I was 2nd team all-conference WR and 3rd team all-conference WR.” Lee said.
A message to Fans and Coaches
“I’m a coachable and hardworking player who will give 100% all the time. Speedy and quick wr who knows how to get open and also understands coverages. Definitely won’t disappoint when given the chance.” The 5’9” wideout said
Lee would touch base on what his first day out was like with the Patriots
"It was good, Just trying to learn the plays."
My final thoughts: Ed Lee is going to be great on the Special team unit and on the offensive side of the ball. Just let the kid adapt and it will all turn out great.
