Early years
Lee was born in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. His father, Orville Lee, was the last Canadian to lead the Canadian Football League in rushing, in the 1988 CFL season. Jamall played Canadian football at Terry Fox Secondary School and though he was not recruited by any American college football or Canadian university teams, his father's connections with Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec, gave him an opportunity to play for the Gaiters.[1]
University career
At Bishop's, Lee ran for a four-year total of 4,296 yards, which made him the Quebec University Football League's all-time leading rusher. He was also selected as the QUFL's most outstanding player of 2007 and a CIS first team all-star for the 2008 CIS football season. He was the only Canadian selected to play in the 2009 Texas vs. The Nation Game in El Paso, Texas. Ahead of the CFL's 2009 Evaluation Camp, Lee was ranked second amongst those eligible for the 2009 CFL Draft.[1] He set new Evaluation Camp records for both the 40-yard dash at 4.39 seconds and the vertical jump at 44 inches (110 cm).[2][3]
Professional career
Carolina Panthers
Lee signed with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent on April 27, 2009.[4] Lee dressed for all four pre-season games for the Panthers including their final on September 3, 2009, in which he scored the team's sole touchdown.[5]
He was released from the team before the start of the 2009 regular season.
