OVERALL

Will Lee III is a long, athletic cornerback prospect with ideal size and length at 6'3" and 190 pounds. His combination of length, quickness, and ability to change direction makes him an intriguing option for NFL teams looking for a physical and versatile corner.

His long strides, paired with his good burst and smooth transitions, allow him to stay in phase with receivers. His press coverage skills stand out, as he uses his feet well to mirror receivers and his hands to disrupt timing at the line of scrimmage; while also showing fluid hips to flip and quickly get in phase. However, he can occasionally hop into breaks, slowing his transition and can become handsy, leading to penalties. When playing the ball, he shows the ball skills necessary to locate and attack, paired with the body control to put himself in position to make a play.

He uses his length and size effectively to engage and shed blockers, showing a willingness to be involved in the physical aspect of the game. Lee consistently takes on runners with aggression and secures tackles with authority. While he occasionally plays with a nonchalant demeanor, his strength and physicality provide him with the tools to be a reliable run defender, particularly when he maintains focus and effort.

Will Lee III projects as an early-round pick with the potential to make an impact early in his NFL career. His size, length, and athleticism make him a dream prospect for any organization. With improved consistency in his technique and mental approach, Lee has the tools to develop into an All-Pro cornerback.
