Add Chicago Bears legend Dick Butkus to those impressed by the Dallas Cowboys’ Sean Lee.
Butkus visited Cowboys camp on Wednesday, and met with the team. But he made a special point to pull two players aside--defensive end DeMarcus Ware and Sean Lee, who, in the new 4-3, will play Butkus’s old position of middle linebacker.
"I've been watching him," Butkus said of Lee, per ESPN Dallas. "(He's) an old-school guy."
Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett told reporters that Lee was on the verge of giddy over meeting the Hall of Famer.
"He's fantastic, a legend," Lee said. "He's probably one of the best football players of all time. To see him and meet him, I was pretty moved.
"He was great. He was talking about playing hard and playing a certain way and staying clean and understanding that we are role models and we have a certain way we need to act and a certain way we need to play. It was a great speech."
