    Can't be that shocking that Lee did not get asked to the Combine, he will be seen at the LSU Pro Day.

    Jefferson will be looked at something besides QB.
    There is no way an NFL team will bring him in as a QB.
    he is a big guy with speed. I am sure he would be a solid TE type.

    apparently JJ has incriminating pics of more people than we imagined :)

    I've seen plenty of NFL sites projecting JJ to get drafted as a QB (and others not having him getting drafted) and although I wouldn't draft him personally, I'm no scout. I just know scouts were buzzing about JJ as a QB both at the Manning camp in the preseason and again last week at the All Star Classic

    as for J Lee, he has LSUs Pro Day which will have plenty of NFL scouts in attendance

    as for the combine, this is how they select the invitees:
