Ohio State's Darron Lee, from high school QB to NFL LB in two college seasons

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Two seasons of playing college football turned Darron Lee from a high school quarterback into an NFL linebacker.

That was one of the two reasons you could envision the second-team All-Big Ten linebacker maybe staying at Ohio State for a fourth year in 2016 as a redshirt junior, because he's so young in the position.

The other was a disposition that paints Lee as a big-picture guy, but maybe one who isn't afraid to see the picture from a different angle. The son of Columbus television broadcaster Candice Lee, he has said he could imagine going into broadcasting himself someday.
