McKee got worse the more time he played for Stanford. I don't know what to think of him as a prospect, TBH.
McKee may have had a bad OL but I'd argue that it was nowhere near as bad as the one Trent Edwards endured. Now Trent was a difficult QB to evaluate! I admit not expecting Trent to do much in the NFL but that was mainly because he spent most of his college career on his back or in the hospital, literally. Crazy to think that he was a 3rd round pick and lasted eight seasons in the NFL despite how few games he won in college.
I remember Trent being recruited, and I went to watch his Los Gatos high team play Palo Alto. In the first half, Edwards was 6 for 10. Three of his incompletions literally hit his receivers in the hands in between the numbers. The fourth went sixty yards in the air, and he overthrew the receiver by half a stride. Simply amazing accuracy for a HS QB. My other memory is that PA's DE and LB knocked him out after a tackle. I remember thinking "what's going to happen to Edwards when the DE and LB are 50 pounds heavier and several steps faster?"
