Tetairoa McMillan vs. Will Lee highlights a physical day

“He’s given up some plays,” Canales admitted, before continuing, “he’s made a lot of great plays, had a chance at an interception on one of them and just couldn’t come away with it, but he’s putting himself in the right position, and that’s where it all starts: assignment, technique, be in phase so you can make a play, and that’s where he continues to grow daily.”

Those matchups have meant Lee is going toe-to-toe with the reigning rookie of the year, McMillan, more than any other receiver. And those battles have quickly become must-see during one-on-one and team drills. That was the case again on Monday, when the two battled it out throw after throw.

“That’s where we make us,” said Canales. “That’s how we get better as we go against the best guys that we have to put out there, and (Lee’s) responded really well.”
