Jamall Lee (born March 13, 1987) is a former professional Canadian football running back who played for three seasons for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League. He was signed by the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League as an undrafted free agent in 2009 and released at the end of the pre-season, making him an NFL free agent. He was drafted by the BC Lions third overall in the 2009 CFL Draft. He played CIS football for the Bishop's Gaiters.
Lee was born in New Westminster, British Columbia. His father, Orville Lee, was the last Canadian to lead the Canadian Football League in rushing, in the 1988 CFL season. Jamall played Canadian football at Terry Fox Secondary School and though he was not recruited by any American college football or Canadian university teams, his father's connections with Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec, gave him an opportunity to play for the Gaiters.
At Bishop's, Lee ran for a four-year total of 4,296 yards, which made him the Quebec University Football League's all-time leading rusher. He was also selected as the QUFL's most outstanding player of 2007 and a CIS first team all-star for the 2008 CIS football season. He was the only Canadian selected to play in the 2009 Texas vs. The Nation Game in El Paso, Texas. Ahead of the 2009 CFL Evaluation Camp, Lee was ranked second amongst those eligible for the 2009 CFL Draft. He set new CFL Evaluation Camp records for both the 40-yard dash at 4.39 seconds and the vertical jump at 44 inches (110 cm).
