Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee, who played for Penn State’s legendary football coach Joe Paterno from 2005-09, issued a statement regarding Paterno’s death early Sunday morning.
“Coach Paterno had a great impact on my life, not only as a player, but as a person. He coached with an incredible amount of passion and integrity, and I am very proud to have played for one of the greatest coaches in sports. My prayers go out to him and his family. Thank you Coach Paterno for the profound impact you had. You will never be forgotten.”
