Position fit:

Tight end

Stat to know:

Highest receiving grade on Florida in 2015 and fourth-highest among tight ends in the draft class

Combine stats:

Height: 6-5
Weight: 250
Arm length: 32 ⅜ inches
Hand size: 9 ⅝ inches
40-yard dash*: 4.78
Broad jump*: 9-6
Vertical jump*: 28.5 inches
Bench: 17
3-cone drill*: 7.26
20-yard shuttle*: 4.60
*Performed at Pro Day

What he does best:

— Rare natural coordination for a man his size. Born to play tight end. Attacking the ball looks like second nature
— No issues whatsoever adjusting to balls outside of his frame and only had one drop in 2015. Very strong hands. Made some nice catches in traffic
— Ran a full complement of routes at Florida from wing and slot position. Knows how to use his leverage to create separation

Biggest concern:

— Awful run blocker at the moment. No power whatsoever at the point of attack. Let's defenders into his body far too much
— Athleticism is nothing special. Won’t outrun most linebackers and doesn’t seem to leave the ground when asked to high point balls
— Sixth year senior at Florida due to transfer and injury. Potential may be maxed out already

Player Comparison:

Brandon Myers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They’re both guys that can start as at tight end in the NFL if a team doesn't ask them to do much in the run game

Bottom line:

McGee has innate abilities as a receiver that are teachable, but he’s capped by his athleticism and offers nothing as a blocker. McGee still offers value as a consistent chain mover and red-zone threat in the NFL
