Round 7: BYU DB Austin Lee
Over the past two seasons, Lee has started 22 games at free safety for the BYU Cougars. In 2019, Lee recorded 53 total tackles, four passes defended and an interception. Lee also played in the East-West shrine game and was among the standout players during the week.
Lee actually held a pro day with some peers in Las Vegas, posting some very solid numbers for the safety position. While he didn’t go to the NFL Scouting Combine, he has seen some pre-draft exposure. If there is anyone who has the connections and conviction to take a risk on a player that wasn’t at the combine, it’s Chiefs HC Andy Reid with his alma mater BYU.
