Marqise Lee is out here making Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles look like an elite player not just once, but twice.
Here’s a tremendous reception that put the Jags in scoring range.
Let's just watch this @TeamLee1 catch over and over and over again… 😮 #JAXvsDET https://t.co/qVNQ2YFFd1

Lee followed it up with an equally ridiculous catch for six.
Just throw it up.@TeamLee1 can catch anything today. Wow. #JAXvsDET https://t.co/JYYSlgnjY1

Lee, a third-year player out of USC, was drafted higher than Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson, so expectations were extremely high to begin with that he’d make an immediate impact.
After dealing with a multitude of injuries in his first two years, the light has come on for Lee as he is showing off the elite ability many raved about in the pre-draft process.
The Jaguars are up 19-16 over the Detroit Lions midway through the third quarter.
