FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — No matter what Bart Scott said about Darron Lee’s ability to take a hit on the football field, the Jets inside linebacker definitively proved he can take a hit off it.
A little more than a week ago, Scott — the former Jet and Pro Bowl linebacker — called Lee “a little plush” during the Carlin, Maggie & Bart show on WFAN, and used mildly profane phrasing to say Lee had to act like a man. On Sunday, Scott doubled down on his comments on SNY’s Jets Nation, saying that Lee avoided contact during the preseason game against the Redskins (Scott also made this assertion on Carlin, Maggie & Bart).
