What It Means:

Slater sees Lee playing a sub-package role as a rookie. With 4.47 wheels and an explosive 11-foot-1 broad jump, Lee has the athleticism to be a factor in coverage and as a rusher. 32-year-old David Harris will likely retain his three-down role, but Lee could supplant Henderson on passing downs. It also would not be surprising if he took the starting job as the season progressed.

The Jets' defense finished 2015 ranked sixth in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play. Our algorithms project Henderson for 84.75 tackles this season, but little in the way of coverage statistics (i.e. interceptions, passes defensed). This should be Lee's territory sooner, rather than later.
