The former Nebraska quarterback doesn't seem to be having a great day.

Former Nebraska quarterback Tanner Lee was a late addition to the Senior Bowl. He's had an up-and-down performance so far.

Lee received promising reviews after the first practice on Tuesday. At least one analyst said he had the best day of all the quarterbacks.

"Everybody focusing on Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen," wrote NFL analyst Benjamin Allbright. "Quietly Tanner Lee had the best day 1."

Lee doesn't appear to have turned his good Day 1 into a good Day 2. He's having an "awful day" according to Allbright.

The former Nebraska quarterback is struggling with the same thing he struggled with in Lincoln: turnovers. Lee, who threw 16 interceptions during the 2017 season, has thrown a bad one today.

Lee has been struggling with his accuracy and ball placement all day, according to reports. His worst throw of the day came on a "rainbow pass" that got picked off by Penn State's Christian Campbell.

Video of the throw can be seen below. It's not good.

Lee is seen by most as an intriguing NFL Draft prospect. However, he likely needs a good showing at the Senior Bowl this week to cement that "intriguing" status.

Senior Bowl practices will run all week. The game is on Saturday.
