Hoping to return to his sophomore form, McGee spent more time in the training room than on the football field as a senior. He injured his non-throwing shoulder in the 2007 Alamo Bowl, missing 2008 spring drills after undergoing surgery. Back in time for the season opener, he hurt his throwing (right) shoulder in the team's second game vs. New Mexico and would start just one more game the rest of the year, but re-injured his shoulder in that meeting vs. Army.

McGee just had this air of confidence to him ever since arriving on campus as a freshman in 2004. He was such a respected leader that his teammates named him squad captain in 2006. He would reward them for that faith in his abilities, going on to lead the nation with an interception percentage of 0.64, the lowest mark by a major college quarterback since Matt Blundin set the NCAA single-season record by not throwing any interceptions in 1991.

McGee was a three-year starter at quarterback for Class 3A Burnet High School, leading his team to a combined record of 36-5 (including a 28-2 mark as a junior and senior) and two appearances in the state finals. The two-time All-State selection and three-time All-District pick was named the Class 3A Offensive Most Valuable Player after his senior year, as he did not throw an interception for the campaign.

He also earned Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine Super Team second-team and Austin American-Statesman All-Centex Co-Player of the Year honors. McGee completed 196 of 313 passes for 3,579 yards with 47 touchdowns and three interceptions that year. As a junior, he connected on 155 of 276 passes for 2,841 yards and 34 touchdowns and five interceptions. During his sophomore season, he hit on 93 of 176 attempts for 1,829 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

McGee closed out his football career with 8,256 passing yards and a Class 3A state-record 101 passing touchdowns. He also lettered in basketball and track. He earned All-District honors on the hardwood as a sophomore, but was injured as a junior. He advanced to the regional meet in track with the 400- and 1,600-meter relays. An excellent student, McGee was Burnet's top-ranked student-athlete and graduated ninth overall in his senior class of over 250.

In 2004, McGee performed on the Texas A&M scout team. He appeared in eight games, starting one contest during his first varsity campaign in 2005. That year, he gained 283 yards with two touchdowns and an interception on 24 of 53 passes (45.3 percent), and despite limited action he finished fourth on the squad with 235 yards and two scores on 43 carries (5.5 avg).

McGee earned Academic All-Big 12 Conference honors, as he led the nation with an interception percentage of 0.64. He connected on 194 of 313 tosses (62.0 percent) for 2,295 yards and 12 touchdowns. He ranked third on the squad with 666 yards and four scores on 146 rushing attempts (4.6 avg), as he also punted twice for 71 yards and caught a pass for a 12-yard gain.

In 2007, McGee was again named Academic All-Big Eight, adding league honorable mention for his performance on the field. He threw for a career-high 2,311 yards, matching his 2006 totals with 12 touchdowns, but was picked off eight times on 211 of 364 passes (58.0 percent). He led the team in rushing with 899 yards on 181 tries (5.0 avg) that included five scores and punted once for 35 yards.

The 2008 season was marred by constant shoulder problems, limiting McGee to three starts in six games. He managed just 586 yards on 56 of 85 tosses (65.9 percent) that included two touchdowns and two interceptions. He rushed 17 times, but the results were 50 yards in losses.

GENERAL REPORT: GRADE: 5.94

Body Structure: McGee has good upper body development, with a thick chest and broad shoulders, but lacks overall muscle tone. He has a wide waist and hips, lacks ideal height and has adequate arm length, but smaller than ideal hands.

Athletic Ability: McGee displays very good mobility for his position. He is more quick than fast, but shows the balance and footwork to slide out of the pocket. He has good lower body flexibility on the run and adequate change of direction agility. He has enough natural strength to break arm tackles when running with the ball. He shows the ability to step up and avoid the pass rush and has good hip swerve and knee bend to turn the corner and gain positive yardage as a runner. He demonstrates good acceleration to the second level. GRADE: 6.2

Football Sense: McGee is a very intelligent athlete in the classroom, but is not the type who can easily take the plays from the board to the field. He does well in school, but appears to lack patience making adjustments at the pre-snap. He shows adequate field alertness and does not pick up on the defensive changes well. His lack of ability to improvise is a concern, but he has patience as a runner to let blocks develop. GRADE: 5.5

Character: McGee is well-liked by his teammates and staff. He is very close to the coaches and his squad thought so highly of him, he is the team's first three-time captain. He comes from a supportive family and his father was also a college quarterback. He has no known off-field issues. He has great maturity and leadership skills, but needs to become more of a student of the game, as he seems to be uncomfortable playing inside the pocket. GRADE: 6.3

Competitiveness: Even though the team uses the shotgun often, McGee has the toughness to step up in the pocket and absorb punishment. He is a physical runner with the leg drive to break tackles, and took a considerable amount of punishment in 2008 as he received marginal protection. When he pulls the ball down to run with it, he will do anything he can to get extra yardage. He does force the ball into traffic at times, as he has more cold spurts than hot ones. He gives an inconsistent effort with his reads and needs to be more patient in the pocket, as he will tuck the ball and bolt at the first sign of pressure. Still, he is not afraid to take the hit and plays with good fire in his belly. GRADE: 6.0

Work Habits: McGee is a work in progress on the field. He is a self-starter who studies films and is a compliant worker for the team program. But he needs to spend more time with a quarterback coach refining his throwing technique and must show better patience waiting for his receivers to get free, as he gets in a lot of trouble when he breaks away from the game plan. GRADE: 5.7

ATHLETIC REPORT: GRADE: 5.91

Set Up: McGee has the nimble feet to flow from sideline to sideline. He operates mostly out of the shotgun, but when working under center he has the quickness to get back from the line to his throwing point. He keeps his feet under him on the move and also sets his feet well when driving back from center. You can see some fluidity in his set up, but he needs to refine his technique, as he is the type that will throw off his back foot and will over-stride at times. GRADE: 5.6

Reading Defenses: McGee is an intelligent student, but as a quarterback he is not quick to spot defensive schemes. He will run hot and cold at times. He tries to do too much on his own to rally the team, but will then force the ball up for grabs or just tuck it under and bolt with it when he should be standing longer in the pocket to locate secondary targets. He does an adequate job of looking off and making decisions on the move, as he sometimes tries to get too creative when pressured. It is more so out of a lack of good coaching than a lack of poise. GRADE: 5.5

Release: McGee carries the ball a little too high and his overhead delivery sometimes takes a little velocity off his release. He has a decent release, but will sometimes deliver the ball with his elbow out, causing him to lose some accuracy on his deep throws. His release looks a little deliberate and this results in his long throws appearing to flutter coming off his fingers. He has the athletic skills to vary his arm slot, but he pats the ball often and executes a windmill motion trying to go long. GRADE: 5.4

Arm Strength: McGee has good arm strength, but just lacks good mechanics. He puts good zip on his tosses, but needs to know when to take something off his throws. He steps into his deep throws well, but with that windmill motion the ball comes out late, allowing defensive backs to recover and get into position to make plays on the ball in flight. He has the arm strength to put good velocity behind his short to intermediate throws. The ball will hang up in the air of deep tosses. He shows good hip rotation throwing underneath and puts good zip on his flag and slant passes to hit the receivers in stride. GRADE: 6.2

Accuracy: McGee's poor footwork leads to a lot of his problems connecting with the long ball. He gets into this rhythm of throwing off his back foot and this affects his delivery. When staying in the short area, he does a good job of throwing on the move. He needs to do a better job of getting the ball to the outside shoulder of the receiver when going long. When he airs the ball out, it seems to lack trajectory to get over the head of the defender, causing for a high amount of pass deflections. He is capable of hitting moving targets on underneath routes, showing good velocity on those throws. When flushed out of the pocket, he seems to have better zip throwing from the right hash than the left. His long balls will tail off some if he does not step into his throws. GRADE: 5.7

Touch: When given a chance to plant his feet, McGee does a good job of finding his open man. He shows touch on his short throws more than when going long. He has decent timing ability throwing over the middle, but needs more velocity on deep outs. His vision allows him to time his passes to hit the receiver coming out of the break, but he must show more patience in letting his targets get open. He is the type who will throw too early and make the receivers work for the ball. His intermediate throws come out tight and are easy to catch. GRADE: 5.8

Poise: McGee will stand in the pocket, take the hit and bounce right back up. He is still learning how to improvise when the play breaks down, but does have happy feet when the pocket is pressured. He will get jumpy under a heavy rush and needs to protect the ball better when tucking and running with it. Poor protection resulted in most of his sacks the last two years, but poor ball security led to most of his fumbles. GRADE: 5.7

Leadership: McGee is well respected by the team and has good command of the huddle. You would like to see him kick a few teammates in the pants more often, especially his interior blockers, but the coaches like him and respect his intelligence. Having been a team captain in each of his last three seasons, leadership comes easy for him. GRADE: 6.5

Pocket Movement: McGee has the mobility to escape pressure and be a threat running with the ball. He does get a bit antsy driving back from center at times, resulting in muffed exchanges at the snap though. As a runner, he shows the hip swerve and leg strength to get to the second level, but does not have the timed speed to take the ball to the house often. He needs to do a better job of securing the ball before running, as several of his fumbles could have been avoided if he did not leave the ball exposed. He has a good feel for the rush and knows how to step up in the pocket. He shows the ability to see schemes develop and adjust to them. GRADE: 6.4

Scrambling Ability: McGee won't win many foot races in the open, but he has the scrambling ability to at least move the chains, and on occasion will break for a long run. He is not really elusive turning the corner, but squares his shoulders and runs at a good pad level to break the initial tackle. He has adequate velocity behind his tosses on the move, but his change of direction agility allows him to buy time for the receivers to get open. He also shows good savvy carrying out fakes. GRADE: 6.3

Compares To: KYLE BOLLER, St. Louis -- Like Boller, McGee is going to entice more than a few teams on his athletic ability alone. The problem is, he is an athlete first and a quarterback a distant second. He needs a complete refinement of his footwork and throwing mechanics. Unless a team has depth at his position, he will get lost in the shuffle, as he is more likely a developmental squad candidate that a roster performer - at least for the next few years.

OVERALL GRADE: 5.91
