Training Camp Look-In: Ravens Practice August 16th

Lee Talks About His Reaction To Being Traded

“I want to say thank you to Mr. Wilson and the Bills organization for everything over the last 7 years. To the great fans who make Buffalo special, thanks for always supporting me and my family. I’ll always have ties to the Buffalo community as I’ve met a lot of great people who will remain friends.

This is a very exciting time for me and my family and I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to play for the Baltimore Ravens. I’m excited about the Ravens organization, players, and coaching staff and can’t wait to get started.“

Q:  What are your thoughts on the lockout?
Lee: It’s really unfortunate that everybody is now beginning to see that there’s a business side of the industry in regards to the players.  As players, we’re trying to do all that we can to play.  If we don’t play, it hurts the fans as well.

Q: How has the NFL Lockout affected the team?
Lee: We’ve been pretty consistent with things and optimistic that things are going to workout.  We’re still approaching the off season as if things will work out in due time to be ready for the upcoming season.

Q: What’s coming up next?  Have any thoughts on the upcoming draft?
Lee: You never know what your team and club are thinking with draft picks.  I don’t know which direction they’re going to go, of course the media has a take on it but we all know you can only believe like 10% of it.  You just have to wait and see.

Q: Speaking of the next season, are you feeling better since your injury?
Lee: I had an ankle sprain last season, but I’ve fully recovered.  I’ve been working out on it, and it’s fine.

Q: Would you say the team is still adjusting to the coaching staff?
Lee: Adjusting to new staff is part of the nature.  Sometimes you fit in, sometimes you don’t.  It’s what every professional player goes through.  You have to play it out and gain the respect of new players and new staff.

Q:  So what’s one fun thing you’ve done in the off season?
Lee: I went to India.  It was a great experience, and a great cultural experience.  We went to a lot of landmarks, I saw the Taj Mahal.  The people were very friendly and helpful. It was a nice trip.
