2. Darron Lee

We had a Darron Lee sighting in Detroit! For one game he lived up to the billing of the No. 20 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. In fact, Todd Bowles told Howie Kussoy of the New York Post he could see a huge improvement in Lee coming.

"“The game slowed down for him,” Bowles said. “I don’t think he’s doing anything he hasn’t done. He has more knowledge of the game, and the film study is easier, and he’s working his tail off to be the best player he can be, and we’re happy with it.”"

The average fan was hoping something like Monday night would happen eventually for Lee. They wanted the Jets to not have yet another bust in the first round. Lee’s going to have to continue the large upswing for the Jets to be successful against Miami.

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been prone to turnovers in his career. He has had double-digit interceptions in each season of his career, and he had two against the Titans on Sunday.

It’s not all about the interceptions for Lee, though. He can force drops, limit yards after the catch, and deflect passes for a successful game.
