Larry Dwayne Lee (born September 10, 1959) is a former American football center who played eight seasons in the National Football League (NFL).
Larry was born in Dayton, Ohio, where he attended Nettie Lee Roth High School. After playing football at UCLA, Larry was selected by the Detroit Lions in the fifth round of the 1981 NFL draft. He was an offensive lineman for the Lions, the Miami Dolphins and the Denver Broncos through 1988.[1]
After he retired from the NFL, he later became the vice president of football operations for the Detroit Lions. Interested in funk music from an early age, Lee formed a band, Back in the Day, after his playing career was over.[2]
He would briefly be the director of player personnel for the XFL's Orlando Guardians before the franchise folded in 2024 after their merger with the USFL.[3]
