Tulane defensive end Ade Aruna goes to Vikings with final pick in 6th round

Former Tulane quarterback Tanner Lee will join the Jacksonville Jaguars as a sixth-round draft pick.

The Jaguars selected him with the 203rd overall selection on the third day of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-4 Lee played his first two college seasons at Tulane. He transferred after the Green Wave hired coach Willie Fritz and brought with him a run-oriented offense that did not fit Lee's skills.

Lee sat out one season at Nebraska due to the NCAA transfer rules. He played his one season with the Cornhuskers in 2017, when he completed 57.5 percent of his passes for 3,143 yards with 23 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.
