Darron Lee views his first season in the NFL as “a work in progress,” but the Jets’ rookie inside linebacker knows he still has six weeks left to finish strong.
“I’ll evaluate my entire year when it’s over,” Lee, who hasn’t put together many highlights to date — totaling 31 tackles and a sack — told The Post on Friday. “I just want to try to make as many plays as I can the rest of the way in order to contribute to the team, and that’s what I’ll evaluate myself on.”
Lee, 22, the team’s first-round pick out of Ohio State, recently missed three games because of a sprained ankle before seeing limited action — 13 of 68 defensive snaps — in the Jets’ 9-6 loss to the Rams in Week 10.
