Twice named second-team All-Big East punter, his per-punt average increased from 42.7 to 44.7 in 2008, good enough to make the top 10 in the FBS. West Virginia was among the top FBS teams in net punting; McAfee landed 25 punts inside the 20. The four-year kicker also earned second-team All-Big East honors at that position, as he made 17-of-20 field goal attempts including 6-of-7 from 40-plus yards. Trained to play soccer this fall, but quit the team to enhance his NFL draft status.

Positives: Good, not great, leg strength. … Can get 4.5-second hang-time on punts of 40 yards or longer to force fair catches. … Capable of placing the ball inside the 10. … Handles poor snaps. … Strong last line of defense; has a stout build, can get the angle and is aggressive in tackling returners in the open field. … Snaps his hips through the ball on placements, part of his soccer background. … Holds a full follow-through after placements.

Negatives: Has a slow three-step delivery (1.4 seconds) when not using a rugby style. … Doesn't get a spiral or turn over most punts. … His longer punts are limited in hang-time (around 4.3 seconds). … Limited directional-kicking ability. … Must get placement kicks in the air more quickly to prevent blocks. … Missed two field goal tries of reasonable distance in the 2007 loss to Pittsburgh at home which cost WVU a shot at the national championship. … Was not accurate from 40-plus yards before 2008, making only 11-of-25 attempts over his first three seasons. … Most of his kickoffs do not reach the end zone; must sacrifice hang-time to get it there.
