Marqise Lee (born November 25, 1991) is an American football wide receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Jaguars in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at USC, where he was the Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation's top receiver and a unanimous All-American. ==Early years== Both of Lee's parents, Elton Lee and Anfernee Williams, are deaf; he communicates with them via sign language.〔Pedro Moura, (Aunt: Marqise Lee's father to attend first USC game ), ESPNLosAngeles.com, November 8, 2012, accessed November 10, 2012.〕 Lee had a difficult childhood. His father was not regularly involved in his life. Lee spent the first twelve years of his life moving repeatedly between his mother and grandparents, both in low-income homes. The frequent moves forced him to repeat a grade early in elementary school. While Lee finished sixth grade, his grandfather died and his grandmother moved to the housing projects in Baldwin Village, Los Angeles; Lee and his younger sister chose not to move with her and instead became wards of the state. His two older brothers were involved in gangs: one, Terreal Reid, was murdered in a gang-related killing and the other, Donte Reid, was imprisoned in Arizona on a count of attempted murder. Lee previously tried to join the same gang, but his brothers prevented it. His sister still lives in the Los Angeles area.〔Pedro Moura, (The rise of Marqise Lee ), ESPNLosAngeles.com, April 20, 2012, accessed November 10, 2012.〕 When Lee started high school at Morningside High School, in Inglewood, California, he was living in a foster home. Lee played on an Amateur Athletic Union basketball team the summer after his freshman year of high school and became friends with Steven Hester Jr., a high school student from Inglewood attending the private Junípero Serra High School in Gardena, California. The Hester family liked Lee and, in September 2008, he moved in with them and began attending Serra. The family wanted to help Lee's younger sister, too, but were unable because of space and financial constraints. The Hesters became heavily involved in his life and continue to attend most of his games and practices at USC.〔 At Serra, Lee was a year behind a stand-out wide receiver, Robert Woods, who also went to USC. As a senior Lee had had 57 receptions for 1,409 yards and 24 touchdowns as a wide receiver and 45 tackles and three interceptions as a defensive back. Lee was considered one of the top high school recruits in 2011.〔(Marqise Lee ), Rivals.com, accessed December 7, 2012.〕〔(Marqise Lee ), Scout.com, accessed December 7, 2012.〕 A number of major NCAA Division I FBS college football programs offered him athletic scholarships and Lee made official visits to Florida, Miami and Oregon before choosing to attend USC.〔 Lee was also a sprinter and jumper for the Junípero Serra High School's track team. He set a personal-best leap of 13.59 meters in the triple jump at the 2010 CIF Division IV Meet. At the 2011 CIF Division IV Meet, he won the long jump with a leap of 7.52 meters, and recorded a career-best time of 10.74 seconds in the 100-meter dash, placing second.〔http://ca.milesplit.com/meets/94247/results/160111〕 His jump of 7.52 meters was ranked 2nd best among all the 2011 prep class.〔http://www.usctrojans.com/sports/c-track/mtt/marqise_lee_793053.html〕 He also ran the 200-meter dash in 22.11 seconds at the 2011 Del Rey League Championships, placing third in the finals.〔http://ca.milesplit.com/meets/94551/results/160498〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marqise Lee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
