Big-Arm Husker With Production, Poise, and a Few Too Many Picks
In the 2017 season at Nebraska, Tanner Lee threw for 3,143 yards and 23 touchdowns, becoming one of only four Huskers to reach 3,000 passing yards in a season, while posting a 57.5% completion rate and a 129.4 passer rating[1][2]. His calling card was clear: a quick-trigger passing game, NFL-size frame, and enough arm talent to attack top opponents, as he produced 964 yards and six touchdowns against ranked top-10 teams with just one interception[2]. The flip side was decision-making under pressure and turnover risk, with 16 interceptions that year[1][4].
