What makes Auburn signee Kayin Lee so special?

Kayin Lee's ability, speed, and experience should allow him to play early.

Kayin Lee's versatility coupled with his natural ability as a defender could make him a special player at Auburn. 

He made some plays this week at the All American Bowl practices that caught the attention of scouts in attendance. 

Sports Illustrated's director of football recruiting John Garcia talked about Lee and what he brings as a player. 

"I love what he does at the catch point," Garcia said on Locked On Auburn. "He can get lost in the route there but when he arrives and when the ball arrives, the timing, the ball skills, the physicality, it's all there at that moment. He had a couple of pass breakups that I saw. But really the speed is what you take away from it. The ability to hit the gas when you need him to. So I think coupled with his size and experience in the secondary, I'm starting to think more nickel the more I see Kayin Lee. And that's so important in this day and age. Think of the offenses Auburn is going to face week in, week out."

Lee flipped to Auburn from Ohio State on Early Signing Day.
