No way this cat was getting drafted so he didnt really have any other options but that hasnt stopped other former LSU players from still leaving.

So many on here said he retired from football.

He isn't going to get drafted and he probably didn't want to spend his last year of eligibility on the bench. Now he has a chance for more snaps.

Thank you Mr. Lee. We needed this.

He has a chance to start this year, you have to think a player will come out of nowhere and be all SEC and Lee may be that guy, never know.

I remember thinking in one game that he seemed to be a pretty good player and didn’t see him much afterwards. That’s more than the people saying “warm body “ can say. They probably didn’t even look for him
