Possessing a large degree of upside, McBride offers potential at a number of defensive line positions. Could develop into a two-gap defender or has possibilities as a three-technique lineman.


Biography:

Became a full-time starter last season posting career-best numbers of 68/8.5/1. Used at both defensive end and defensive tackle in college.

Pos:

Athletic defensive lineman whose game is on the rise. Displays great quickness, gets off the snap with a tremendous first step and plays with good pad level. Rarely off his feet, effectively works his hands and shows a variety of pass-rush moves. Immediately alters his angle of attack and makes plays laterally. Keeps his feet moving on contact and gets a lot of momentum going up the field. Fires through the gaps upfield and has a closing burst.

Neg:

Undersized and easily blocked at the point. Marginally productive until last season.
