Cornerback - Auburn
 

By: Alex Khvatov

4/21/08

Alex Khvatov:  What are your measurements (height, weight, forty time and bench press)?

Patrick LeeI am six feet even and 200 pounds.  I ran a 4.41 and did the 225 pound bench press 15 times.

 

Alex Khvatov:  Why did you choose Auburn when you were coming out of high school?

Patrick LeeIt was a good place.  I wanted to get out of Florida.  It was a new atmosphere.

 

Alex Khvatov:  Describe your overall experience at the Senior Bowl.

Patrick LeeIt was good.  I worked hard.  I showed what I can do.  I never played off before.  I showed them that I can play off during the week.

 

Alex Khvatov:  Did you get a chance to bond with any of the players there?

Patrick LeeI bonded with a lot of people there.  Everyone was cool.  Everyone was funny.  It was fun.

 

Alex Khvatov:  Tell me about your overall experience at the Scouting Combine.

Patrick LeeCombine was a crazy deal.  It was a lot of running around.  It was a good experience.  I dealt with it.

 

Alex Khvatov:  What was the most unique question that you had to answer during the interview process?

Patrick LeeThe one question that they asked me was why I started only one full year.  Basically when I first got there in 2005 I started five games.  Then I developed tendonitis in my knee.  Someone jumped in and they took my place.  I rotated after that.  Then I got my chance last year when David Irons left.

 

Alex Khvatov:  How would you grade your Pro Day and were you disappointed with your forty time?

Patrick LeeYeah, I was disappointed with my 40 time.  But I improved in other areas.  I improved my vertical jump. 

 

Alex Khvatov:  What are your strengths on the football field?

Patrick LeeMy size, speed and my press coverage ability.  I make plays.

 

Alex Khvatov:  What areas of your game do you need to improve upon?

Patrick LeeWhen I am in good position, I need to find the ball.  I need to locate the ball better.

 

Alex Khvatov:  You finally got your chance to be the starting corner for the entire season, were you happy with your overall play during your senior campaign?

Patrick LeeI worked hard.  It turned out good for me.

 

Alex Khvatov:  Who is the toughest receiver that you have faced over your college career?

Patrick LeeI would say Percy Harvin.  He is a fast guy and he has good hands.  I am not even sure that he is a receiver.  He played running back too.  He does it all.

 

Alex Khvatov:  How were you able to shutdown Vanderbilt’s talented wide receiver Earl Bennett last season when your team played them?

Patrick LeeWe took it to him.  We distracted him.  We put our hands on him and we got to their quarterback.  The quarterback wasn’t able to look his way.  We got our hands on him. 

 

Alex Khvatov:  What is the highlight of your football career up to this point?

Patrick LeeYou know one play stands out.  When I hit the fullback from Georgia last year and took him out of the game.  He was talking a lot.  The play before, he told me that I am not a hard hitter.  On the next play, I got a hit on him and he went out of the game.  I am sure that he will remember the hit for a long time.

 

Alex Khvatov:  What is your favorite NFL team?

Patrick LeeI used to like the Colts.  I still like the Colts.  I liked the Colts ever since they got Edgerrin James.  I like the way they run the offense.

 

Alex Khvatov:  Who is your favorite player?

Patrick LeeMy favorite player was Deion Sanders.  He was a playmaker.  Something exciting is going to happen when he makes a play.

 

Alex Khvatov:  Which underclassman on your team should we keep an eye on in the future?

Patrick LeeJerraud Powers made a lot of plays last year.  He is a big playmaker for a small guy.

 

Alex Khvatov:  What do you enjoy most about football?

Patrick LeeIt is my dream.  Everything.  Just going to the games, have fans cheering for you and making plays.

 

Alex Khvatov:  Do you think that you are one of the most underrated corners in this draft class?

Patrick LeeYes, I think that.  We play in the strongest division.  We face the best receivers in the SEC.  Corners that are listed ahead of me don’t go against these top guys.  I am underrated. 

 

Alex Khvatov:  Where do you think that you will be drafted?

Patrick LeeIt doesn’t matter where I get drafted.  I want to play.  I want to come in, settle in and do my job. 

 

Alex Khvatov:  What is the one thing in your daily life that you can’t live without?

Patrick LeeMy mom.  I talk to my mom all the time. 

 

Alex Khvatov:  Tell me something about yourself that makes you unique.

Patrick LeeI am a positive person.  I have fun and I am always laughing.

 

Alex Khvatov:  What are your hobbies away from the football field?

Patrick LeeI play video games and I mentor little kids.  Jammon is an eleven year old kid that I play video games with.  It is kind of like a big brother thing.  I try to show him the right things.  I want to be someone that is supportive of him.  I had some time to get into this mentorship program because I graduated early in May of 2006 with a criminology degree.

 

Alex Khvatov:  What would you like to do with your life after football?

Patrick LeeI want to get into the US Marshall Field because it is better than the FBI.  Real estate is a possibility because my mom does that.

 

Alex Khvatov:  Finish the sentence, Patrick Lee is…..

Patrick Lee Patrick Lee is a hard worker and a fighter.  I never give up.  I do my best and I try to make plays all the time.
