Tanner Lee Declares for NFL Draft

Saw on Twitter through many media outlets, Tanner Lee is going pro. Probably the best decision for him.

And that's for the best. Best thing for Tanner, best thing for Nebraska.

Good luck to him, and here's hoping he makes it in the NFL.

Agreed - probably the best decision for all parties involved. I hope he has some success! It'd be great to hear that a "Nebraska quarterback" is doing good things in the league.

I bet he gets drafted late.

Interesting that Frost would say this.

I’m sure Frost said the right things to Lee, but I don’t think Frost is too heartbroken for Lee to turn pro.

I wish Tanner the best , but I really don't see him getting drafted.

Open up another spot in an important transition class. 

Appreciate how Lee handled his role this year. Will definitely be rooting for him as he continues on.

I wish Tanner the best , but I really don't see him getting drafted.

Agreed.  Zac Taylor, Joe Ganz and Sam Keller was drafted ??

Hmmm, this was a surprise.  Wanted to have him in the fold.  The competition and depth would have been nice.

All the best to you Tanner.

He must have put his name in and got a projection? He's not on many people's lists online.

I agree.  I'm guessing, but I wouldn't be surprised if Frost breathed a little sigh of relief when he got the news.  It sucks to lose a veteran, but Frost can have a true QB battle this spring and not have to worry about possible politics with older players thinking their QB got the shaft.

I would be shocked if he doesnt get drafted.  Scouts have seen his arm and know his potential.  Not a great year here at Nebraska, but he did have a shaky line, no run game, and an unproven WR corp.  

Crazy things happen when a team likes a QB. Mitch Trubisky started 13 games at UNC and went 2nd overall.  Not saying Lee will go high, but some team will take a shot with him.

Or he’s already 23 years old, has started 3 seasons in the college game, and there is a new coach who has an offense that isn’t a great fit for his skills. I don’t think he was going to improve his stock any by staying at NU another season.
