FLORHAM PARK -- Darron Lee was shocked, the same as everyone else. An hour before he'd be picking the brain of teammate David Harris on the practice field during the Jets eighth organized team activity. And now, Harris was gone.
Seemingly out of nowhere, the Jets released the veteran linebacker on June 6. In the process, Lee went from talented understudy, to star of the show. He's now the man in the middle for the Jets.
"Got to step up," Lee said at his locker Tuesday.
While they played just a year together, Lee struggled to list everything he learned from Harris.
