Ole Miss WR responds to question at SEC Media Days

Wide receiver Cayden Lee has been a part of the Rebels since 2023. Last season, he put up 874 yards and two touchdowns receiving for Lane Kiffin's team.

At the SEC Media Days, Cayden Lee was asked if he finds himself an underrated player in the conference.

"I like the term 'Silent Assassin,'": Lee said. "I don't really need to be talked about much. I'm just going to go out and do my job, whether people talk about me or not. I just control what I can control."

The Rebels kick off their 2025 season with a showdown against Georgia State. The game is scheduled to be played on August 30 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford.
