02Scheme fit
Ideal system

His build and play style are best optimized in a 4-3 Cover-3 match zone scheme that prioritizes downhill play and run stopping from its linebackers.

Mike LinebackerStack LBStrongside LB
Best role

Initially a two-down run-stopper on the strong side or as a stack linebacker, with the ceiling to become an integral part of a zone-heavy defense.

Wrong fit

He would struggle significantly as a MIKE in an attacking 3-4 front that asks its linebackers to consistently drop into deep coverage.

Lee's scheme fit is highly dependent on his role, as his limited change of direction makes him a liability in man-to-man and space coverage.
