A first-round pick of the New York Jets in the 2016 NFL Draft, the 6-foot-1 and 232-pound Lee was the lowest-graded inside linebacker in the NFL during his rookie season.
The Jets declined Lee’s fifth-year option in 2019 and subsequently traded him to the Kansas City Chiefs, with whom he won Super Bowl LIV, though he was inactive for the game.
Once Lee was reinstated, he latched on with the Buffalo Bills.
The 26-year-old Lee has appeared in 58 games across five seasons in the NFL, recording 260 tackles, 11 pass break ups, four sacks, three interceptions, two forced fumbles and one defensive touchdown.
A former four-star athlete from New Albany, Ohio, Lee was named the defensive MVP of the 2015 and guided the Buckeyes to the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship that same season.
