Darron Lee showed remarkable restraint, like he was refusing to bite on a play-action pass.
The Jets’ middle linebacker refused to respond to rips from radio personality and former NFL linebacker Bart Scott, taking the high road. Instead, Lee insisted his mind is elsewhere, such as having a breakout season and leading the Jets defense to a quality year.
Ten days ago on WFAN and again on SNY on Sunday night, Scott hammered Lee, suggesting he is soft, accusing him of avoiding contact in the second preseason game against the Redskins and questioning his desire to play linebacker at the NFL level.
