- Instincts are outstanding, and he does an excellent job in route recognition.
- Tracks the ball well downfield and shows good ball skills, including the ability to go up and high-point it in contested-catch situations.
- Instinctive, adept at reading routes and anticipating throws, and strong in zone coverage.
- Explodes out of his backpedal and has the hands and coordination to force interceptions.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Gave up far too many big plays in college, especially concerning since McGhee has recovery speed to make up for missteps.

- Rght now he’s only capable of playing in trail position, and even then he’d likely be draw a lot of flags.
