The former Rutgers quarterback Mike McMahon, is one of the
most exciting prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft. Scouting
reports indicate that the 6-foot-2, 215-pound McMahon has
good size, is very quick (4.7 in the 40-yard dash) and
possesses very good arm strength. Reports say the Pittsburgh
native has a quick release and is able to move around the
pocket effectively. Fastest quarterback at the 2001
Combine(4.57).
McMahon is slated to back up Joey Harrington this year. A
talented young passer with good experience, he may be
auditioning in the preseason for a chance to play else
where. A great athlete who is Very competitive. Likes to
improvise. Has a live arm and can make throws on the run.
Also had the best vertical jump (37 ½"), broad jump (10'4")
& 20-yard shuttle (4.12) of all quarterbacks at the Combine
that year. Selected in the 5th round by the Detroit Lions in
2001 .Has the tendency to hold the ball and run around
forever. Has poor technique in the pocket and may not be a
good pocket passer. Has never played for a winning program.
