LB Darron Lee (National Champion, Super Bowl Champion, Fugitive)

[RB07OSU]

I liked what I saw from Lee...he definitely needs some work at the position and he needs to put on some more good weight (he was bouncing off some ball carriers at time). But he is extremely aggressive and can definitely fly around the field. We'll get a better sense of where we are at for LB against VT imo...Navy's offense will make most LB units look bad.

Lee actually reminded me a bit of Shazier with his speed and athleticism. I think that he is going to be a
very pleasant surprise this year.

Navy was a team made in heaven for Shazier. Would have been fun to watch him.

Played another good game today, flies all over the field and makes plays.

I agree. He's becoming one of my favorite players too. Reminds me of a young Shazier.

He is so fast and active as a backer... impressive dude. Best par? Freshman.

He always seems to be in the play. That reminds me a lot of Ryan. Great play recognition is always a plus from a LB in this D.

I can't agree that Lee is reminiscent of Shazier, who was (and remains) a freakish athlete the likes of whom we do not currently have on the Buckeyes. But Lee plays his position well, and I see him, Perry and McMillan as having the potential to be among the best trios of LBs to play at the same time for tOSU.

They're going to have to be really great to be considered as good as (or better) than these three:

Not too many LBs in the country can run like this...

You almost had it right. Just replace Perry with Hilliard. I truly think Hilliard is every bit as gifted as any LB we have had here in a LONG time including Shazier. Lee, Reakwon and Hilliard......wow.

Don't sleep on Donte Booker.

It's good to once again have optimism about our linebackers. We haven't been in that happy place for awhile.
