For many seasons, Sean Lee was the cornerstone of the Dallas Cowboys defense. When Lee was off the field, often due to injury, Dallas could not hold up on the defensive side of the ball. From 2013-2017, Lee was one of the best linebackers in all of football.
Despite missing an entire season in 2014 with a torn ACL, the Penn State product showed the resilience he always has, bouncing back to make two straight Pro Bowls and earn an All-Pro selection in 2016. Lee was well on his way to another Pro Bowl in 2017, but suffered a hamstring injury that caused him to miss six games during the course of the season.
