PRO: Sean Lee, selected in the second round (55th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys,<br />

was chosen with intentions of becoming an inside force at linebacker for years to come. After Lee spent his<br />

rookie season learning behind solid veteran inside linebackers Keith Brooking and Bradie James, he became<br />

a full time starter on the inside in 2011. Lee was also charged with “quarterbacking” the defense in his role<br />

as a first-time starter and excelled in the spotlight. He paced the defense with 131 tackles - 52 more than the<br />

second place finisher - and tied for the team lead in tackles for losses (eight), interceptions (four) and fumble<br />

recoveries (two). Lee started all 15 games he played in his second season, missing one with a wrist injury.<br />

As he began his second season as the defensive signal caller in 2012, Lee was off on a torrid tackle total,<br />

posting double-digit figures through each of the first four games. He tied a 41-year club record after posting<br />

21 stops at Seattle (9/16). Six weeks into the season, his 77 tackles were a club high, but that’s where his<br />

total ended as a toe injury suffered at Carolina (10/21) slammed the brakes on his third season. After undergoing<br />

surgery to repair the injury and spending the end of the 2012 season and beginning of the 2013 offseason<br />

rehabbing, Lee returned to full health in 2013 and resumed his role as the leader of the defense. He<br />

again led the team in tackles (123) at the time, but suffered a hamstring injury that sidelined him for two<br />

games. In his first game back, he injured his neck that kept him from the final three contests. Lee worked<br />

hard to return for 2014 but suffered a torn ACL in a spring practice that sidelined him for the season. He<br />

again dug in and spent the season rehabbing and should return to form for <strong>2015</strong>.<br />

TRANSACTION SUMMARY:<br />

7/1/14: Placed on Reserve/Injured with a knee injury.<br />

8/22/13: Signed a seven-year contract extension through 2019.<br />

10/24/12: Placed on Reserve/Injured with a toe injury.<br />

4/23/10: Drafted in the second round (55th overall) by Dallas.<br />

2014:<br />

• Tore his ACL in an offseason practice and missed the entire season while rehabbing.<br />

2013:<br />

• Started the first 10 games of the season before a hamstring injury sidelined him for two games and was<br />

leading the team with 115 tackles until the injury. Returned at Chicago (12/9) but suffered a neck injury that<br />

forced him from the Bears game as well as the final three contests. Still finished the season second on the<br />

squad with 123 tackles and led the team, tied for 11th in the NFL, with four interceptions.<br />

• Earned NFC Defensive Player of the Month (October), totalling 52 tackles, three for losses, three interceptions,<br />

two pressures and four deflections in the four games.<br />

• Opened the season against the N.Y. Giants (9/8) with seven tackles and a breakup.<br />

• Led the team with nine tackles with one pressure at Kansas City (9/15) and again with 10 tackles along<br />

with a fumble recovery in the win over St. Louis (9/22).<br />
