Lee, a first-round pick (No. 20 overall) back in 2016, has been a full-time starter for Gang Green since midway through his rookie season. This year, he’s racked up 74 tackles, and three interceptions, including a pick-six.
Per the team’s official website, Lee will begin serving his suspension immediately.
