I went to High School, Middle School played Football and ran Track with Lee Otis, as a High School player he was a Parade All American and one of the highest recruited players in the Country for the Class of 78, As a High School runner Lee ran the 440 and participated in Shot Put, I was on the Mile Relay with Lee and he ran a mid 50 second 440 in the late 70's which was really fast in those days, Lee was about 6'5" and 240 to 250 without an ounce of fat, he was a Physical phenom, he was strong, fast, quick and was heads out the most physical player I ever saw in person and played with, he played a Mans game of football with a bunch of decent High School players, he could have any of them any time he chose to, and even though he was so far ahead of all other players on the field I never saw him try to hurt anybody (he could have), probably the closest I ever saw him try to hurt someone was In summer camp in 77, Our Assistant Coach Doug Parrish Senior Really got on to Lee for not going 100% In Intensity, I was blocking Lee(I wasn't exactly shabby a player) and we did about 3 drills, he knocked me around like a rag doll, it wasn't even close, Bottom Line was Lee a Man playing a kids game, there were 2 College Scouts(Tennessee and Georgia)that camped out in our High School Every day our Senior Football Season that didn't have but one Job which was to sign Lee for their school, But outside of Lee's Football Skills the thing was he was the Nicest Guy you could ever meet, Humble, Kind, There should have been more people like Lee, As for his Football ability he had Sunday All Pro Skills no Doubt, a lot of times we Wonder why didn't this Guy make it to Canton, We wont ever know the Answer to that Question, Sometimes Gods Protects us from Things that seem obvious, I have only seen Lee one time since High School, he was the same Humble Good Guy as he has always been, it was a definite privilege to play with Lee and will always Wish the Best for him and his Family
