quote:

Listed as an athlete due to his ability to play both wide receiver and safety (or a Jacoby Stevens-esque position at LSU) at the next level, Lee started off as one of the top juniors in the nation before falling down to the 130s. Possibly the uncertainty of his position at the next level caused his drop or the famed Alabama rankings push died as he looked more towards LSU, but Lee stayed as a top-10 athlete in the nation.


quote:

If you had questions about Lee’s versatility, his film showcases him doing a variety of things at an elite level on both sides of the ball. As a safety, Lee does a good job at playing center field in tracking the ball the air, and also shows numerous times his ability to get up to the line and make a tackle or big hit. On offense, there is a deceptive speed to Lee’s game.


quote:

There’s talk that Lee could move to a tight end in this new Joe Brady offense which sort of coincides with my thought process that Lee could be a perfect possession receiver on the inside


Lee has the makings of a physical possession receiver or tight end.

you mean we're not the only ones who believe this?



I definitely would like to know more about how he's doing. Feel like I've heard about everyone but Lee.

I see a good career of Lee moving the chains on those third and short passing downs.


The most exciting part of the whole article. I can’t remember the last time “3rd and short” was actually considered a passing down at LSU.

Better Know Geography...

quote:

There has always been a battle to reclaim north Louisiana in the name of LSU after Nick Saban and Alabama appeared to build up a stronghold in the area. It took until this year and a stronger emphasis in the area to make a dent up there, successfully getting two from the area in Trey Palmer and Devonta Lee.

Amite is far from North Louisiana.

Also, TR;DV.

Don't get between a football and Devonta - that ball is HIS!

Been following videos and articles on Deveonta. This young man is dead serious. Total workout freak. A grown man. His HS coach calls him a "Freak athlete". When his number is called, Devonta will be ready.

The best are usually driven. I respect this quote from DL, "I'm tired of seeing my Mama struggle. I gotta make it out for her."

I know he's stuck on playing WR but he looks average at best there needs to convert over to defense for sure
