Matt Lee scouting report
Lee is a shorter, smaller prospect compared to who we will lineup across from in the NFL. But his pass protection speaks for itself, and he allowed his matchup to hit the quarterback just once in 11 games as a starter. He has above-average core strength and speed which translates to effective pass protection, and is rarely ever knocked off-balance. He had some trouble in space, however, and could struggle against NFL athletes with length and power. His technique, hand placement, and quickness may help bridge that gap at the next level.
