After seeing this pic...no way Lee is 6'2 235lbs. He looks like 5'11...215lbs tops. And people wonder why he gets rocked w/ concussions. There is no way he should continue to play inside LBer. Hell...even our kicker is bigger than him. Pretty sad.
Couple of things...
1. It's perspective. Lee is farthest from the camera and not exactly on equal footing. Furthermore he appears smaller because Martin and the woman on the left conceal his arms.
2. Also, most are forgetting that Bailey is not that small. Bailey is 6 foot 200lbs. And the OL are all Giants over 300 lbs. the frame of reference isn't great.
3. Most people also kind of assume 6'2" 235 is bigger than what it actually is. Especially when someone is built mostly of muscle. Lee is not a large guy, but if you met him, you'd know he's really solidly built.
I've never met Lee, but a friend of mine who is a workout fanatic, borderline bodybuilder that is about 5'10" 215 has and has a photo of he and Lee standing side by side. Lee was on crutches, leaning forward and still about half a head taller.
Footwear could have played a role, but no way could it have played that big of a role to where the Lee is only 5'11".
By the way, my friend was kind of blown away by Lee's physical build.
