FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Darron Lee took the field at times last season and all kinds of thoughts would rush through his head.
The New York Jets linebacker was thinking too much as a rookie, and it was affecting his natural playmaking abilities. Entering his second NFL season, Lee already can feel the difference.
“My mind’s not racing like it was last year,” he said. “At all.”
Big things were expected last year from Lee, the No. 20 overall pick in the draft out of Ohio State. He started in nine of the 13 games he played and finished fourth on the team with 76 total tackles.
