At 6-foot-6 and 231 pounds, McKee is a towering traditional pocket passer and nothing like All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts.
McKee offers some mobility and has slightly above-average arm strength, good football instincts, and scheme versatility.
In 2022 at Stanford, McKee was 264 of 426 passing, for 2,947 yards, with 13 touchdowns, eight interceptions, and 74 carries for -90 yards and two touchdowns.
The idea is that Philadelphia will develop McKee and flip him for assets down the line.
