He's not slow by any means. In Juco, where he was a First Team All-American, he was purportedly running in the mid-4.3's.
When he runs in the 4.4 range at the combine, the safety talk will cease.
The league is filling up with 6'4", 220 lb. receivers and, frankly, there aren't that many CB's available to cover those types of guys.
On the field, McGill is fast, huge and has good instincts.
Off the field McGill is a solid citizen, team leader and is playing for a family as he's already married with a daughter.
Now, he was a safety up until this past season, but his speed and athletic ability dictated a switch to the outside. It will be the same in the pros.
Here's some highlights of his Juco time at safety:
But I wouldn't worry too much about it Direckshun. He's going to be long gone before the Chiefs pick in the third. With the recent success of Seattles "big D-back" sets, his soon to be excellent Combine results, he won't be there after Round 2 or very early Round 3. Teams aren't going to pass over a potential Richard Sherman type player after this past season.
That being said, if he's there in the third, he'd look pretty darn good staying in Red as a free safety.
