3 things to know about Patriots receiver Marqise Lee

Here are three things to know about Marqise Lee the Patriots newest wide receiver acquisition.

For his career, Lee has two 100-yard receiving games. They both took place in the 2016 season.

The first instance came against the Oakland Raiders on October 23, 2016. He caught seven passes for 107 yards, averaging 15.29 yards per catch. A 38-yard reception was his longest of the afternoon. The second instance for Lee came later that year in December. He caught five passes for 113 yards, averaging just over 22 yards per catch. A 39-yard reception was his longest catch in that one.

Although both of those efforts came in losses, it showed the National Football League that Lee could be an impact playmaker at the professional level. Of course, Lee did this when he was healthy.

However, those two instances in 2016 remind all of us that when he is on top of his game, Lee can stretch the field and be a big-time playmaker. At the very least for New England, he will be a veteran option for a young wide receiving corps learning the ropes of the NFL on the fly.
