Jack Ross "Jacky" Lee (July 11, 1938 - May 2, 2016) was an American quarterback who played professional football in the American Football League for all ten of its seasons (1960–1969). After playing football, baseball and basketball at Akron's Ellet High School, he played college football at the University of Cincinnati. In 1958-1959, Jacky Lee was the team MVP and an All Conference Quarterback. In 1960, he was MVP of the Senior Bowl.
In 1960, he was the first QB ever drafted (1st Round) by the American Football League's Houston Oilers, where he split time with George Blanda in the Oilers' 1960 and 1961 AFL Championship seasons. In 1961, Jacky threw for 457 yards against the Boston Patriots, then an AFL record and set another league record with a 98 yard touchdown to Willard Dewveall against the Chargers. Jacky Lee and George Blanda combined to throw 38 touchdowns for the Oilers in 1961. Jacky played in every game for the Oilers from 1961-1963.
In 1964, Jacky became the one and only player to ever be "lend-leased" to another team. He was loaned to the Denver Broncos and was to returned back to the Oilers two year later. While in Denver, Jacky threw for 370 yards in one half against the Oakland Raiders.
In 1967, Jack was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jack spent most of his last 3 years as the back-up to Len Dawson with the Kansas City Chiefs. Jack was part of the1969 AFL and World Championship (Super Bowl IV) winning team.
He was one of only twenty men who played in each of the ten years of the AFL's existence.
Jacky retired in 1970 after a shoulder injury and went on to have a successful career in commercial real estate in Houston.
Lee passed away on May 2, 2016 due to complications from Alzheimer's disease.
