Overall

Great size for a QB at 6’6 229 which will intrigue teams and he will likely be a prospect that can earn notice through his performances at the combine and his pro day. In 2022, his statistics were 62% completion percentage, 2947 yds, 13 TD, 8 int, and 2 rushing TD’s. He has plenty of strength in his arm to make the necessary throws while he does not have an elite arm. Physically imposing with his stature on the field. McKee is a master of ball placement and very technically refined with the ability to navigate the pocket and make some off schedule throws. McKee is mobile enough to run for a first down if field is open and he does have long strides so he can cover ground in space. He’s not expected to have the highest ceiling regarding explosiveness, but he is a very strong prospect with the ability to place balls in tight coverage for his receivers and to stand in the pocket and strike with poise. McKee could be one of the most technically refined QB’s in this draft with the potential to step in an run an efficient offense. McKee is projected to go in the third round by NFL Mock Draft Database and could be a good value pick for a team needing a polished passer. McKee is not a polarizing prospect, but perhaps is an under the radar prospect that could be productive when in the correct system.
