Utah's Keith McGill, CB, is a guy to keep an eye on during the Senior Bowl. He was a first team Juco All-American who, because of injuries, only really saw playing time this past season. Played at safety at the Juco level, and played five games there in 2011 before injury and was moved to CB this past season.
He was a real ballhawk in junior college with 11 interceptions in two years. Name to the Pac12 Honorable Mention team this past season.
He purportedly runs a 4.35 40 at 6'3", 205 lbs.
He weighed/measured in at the Senior Bowl at 6'3" even and 214 lbs. chisled. 33" arms (2nd longest), 10 1/4" hands (largest) and a 80 7/8" wingspan (widest of all DB's at the Senior Bowl).
I think he's a better free safety prospect than CB and you let him get up into the 215/220 range. However, if he shows up at 205 and runs that sub-4.4, eh...

In Mobile, the two bigger corners that immediately stuck out were Stanley Jean-Baptiste (CB Nebraska) and Keith McGill (CB Utah). Both of these guys can play football in addition to being tall drinks of water.

Utah cornerback Keith McGill started Senior Bowl week with an impressive Monday as he was one of the standouts from the morning weigh ins and then displayed impressive fluidity in coverage during practice. In press drills against the receivers, he sustains leverage through initial contact and uses his long arms to direct opponents at the line. During the team session, McGill was transitioning through off coverage well and showed impressive click and close ability to throws in front of him. The one surprising area he struggled in was catching the ball, especially considering his 10 ¼ hands.
