John Lee<\/a>, who played defensive end for eight seasons in the NFL<\/a> and USFL, passed away on August 16<\/a>. He was 71. Lee played for the San Diego Chargers from 1976 to 1980, the New England Patriots in 1981, the Chicago Blitz in 1983, and the Arizona Wranglers in 1984.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee played college football at the University of Nebraska. Today’s card of the day is his 1974 Nebraska playing card<\/a>. As far as I know, he did not appear on a card as a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee is one of fourteen players in the 1974 Nebraska playing card deck<\/a> who went on to play in the NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
