Combination tight end who makes up for his lack of ideal size with his ability to get open and make combat catches without flinching. McRee runs leveraged routes and finds a way to separate at break points. He’s instinctive in space and adds unexpected yardage with route adjustments. He’s fearless into contact but needs to improve spatial awareness to prevent taking unnecessary punishment. Fairly willing but needs to get stronger for NFL blocking duties. His injury history and subpar pro day testing work against him, so McRee might have to prove himself as a late pick or undrafted free agent.
