Tanner Lee hits a receiver on a 60-yard pass in-stride. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Tanner Lee said he threw 45 passes. Our @michaelbruntz charted 41 completions. Showed arm strength at the end by throwing three passes 60 yards-plus. Longest was about 65.

McNitt, who helped run some routes for Tanner Lee, thought the QB was really accurate today. “I saw a stat where he got second at the combine for fastest ball. I can definitely tell he’s got more zip on the ball the last couple months.”
