3. Lee earned raves for his work on scout team last year, and his best trait is that he puts the ball where receivers can do something after the catch. Lee hits a lot of receivers in stride. In Nebraska’s offense, which wants to take advantage of angles on deep passes and receivers’ running talents on shorter throws, that’s crucial. Armstrong struggled with that, especially on quick throws to the perimeter. Lee doesn’t. He opens up quickly, gets rid of the ball on time and puts it in a spot where receivers can do their thing. He’ll make De'Mornay Pierson-El and JD Spielman better especially.
Now, the deep ball over the middle needs a little work. Lee throws a beaut of a corner route. He drops that one with poise and pretty spirals. However, reporters watched in spring camp as he overthrew Pierson-El on multiple occasions for what would have been sure touchdowns. Lee can throw the ball a long way, but he’ll have to put a little more air under it occasionally.

5. O’Brien had better be ready. Here’s why: Nebraska had more than one quarterback start games in 2016, 2015, 2013, 2010, 2009 and 2007. In 2011 and 2012, when Taylor Martinez played every game, it’d be fair to say he played through injuries that some quarterbacks wouldn’t if Martinez had any kind of suitable backup, which he didn’t. O’Brien's spring proved he’s more than suitable, despite not playing in a collegiate game yet. He makes decent decisions and has good pocket presence. Nebraska wants him in the fold, and he’d be wise to stay in it. Lee may only be at NU one season if Lee has the kind of year people think he can.
