McGee Impresses At East-West Shrine Game

From all accounts, Stephen McGee was impressive all week in the practices leading up to the East-West Shrine Game.

McGee, who missed most of his last season at Texas A&M with a sprained shoulder, threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jarett Dillard with 14:07 left in the game. Dillard finished his career at nearby Rice with an NCAA record 60 touchdown receptions. He dropped a pass from McGee on the 2-point conversion try.

7-s

We all wish Stephen the best as he attempts to make the leap to the next level.

(cue the violin)
My first memory of SM was his first on campus. After graduating from Burnet HS early, McGee came on to campus with a maturity that is rarely seen in a 18-year old. Then after the 2005 texas game, my hopes for A&M football were at an all-time high. It is unfornuate the way things worked out for Stephen, but there was no one more respected in the A&M locker room this season, and that says a lot about a graduating senior who lost his job due to injury and a RS Soph that performed well in his absence.

 
Lastly, Jovorskie Lane was not impressive-

But West fullback Jorvorskie Lane, who set a Texas A&M record with 49 career rushing touchdowns, was stopped three times inside the 5-yard line and the East took over at its own 1.

We all hope Jovorskie gets his crap together, so he can perform at the next level. In one of my electives at A&M, I sat at a table with Jovorskie, Yemi Babaloa and Kerry Franks (I know, I know bragging), but they were all extremely personable guys. It will be very disappointing if none of those guys pan out. (Franks is definitely an exception, he never had the expectations of Yemi or the J-Train).

I think McGee and Goodson will both be drafted

in the mid to late rounds barring a phenomal or terrible combine.

J-Train if he gets lucky or some team takes a chance in a late round on a goaline back.
