IRVING – If Sean Lee’s career ends up being half as productive as Ray Lewis’ has been, the Cowboys will have received a remarkable return on their investment of a second-round pick.
At 37, Lewis has been to 13 Pro Bowls and named first team All-Pro seven times. He’s also been AP Defensive Player of the Year twice and was MVP of the 2000 Super Bowl.
Lee, 26, obviously has a long way to go to ever be mentioned with future Hall of Famers, but Lewis did have some praise for the Cowboys’ leading tackler during a Wednesday conference call.
“The things I have seen of him is that he just runs around, and you see one Energizer Bunny that’s on that defense outside of DeMarcus Ware. It’s definitely Sean Lee, man,” Lewis said. “He’s just one of those high-motor guys that’s always around the football.
“Any time you have a high motor, you’re always going to look for somebody that’s always around the ball. He’s one of those guys that’s always around the ball. I really, really appreciate how he plays the game.”
