Growing up in Terre Haute, Ind., McGee played basketball. He excelled enough to attract scholarship offers from Indiana University, among others. But he was a power forward whose six-four height made him more likely to play guard in college; McGee knew his football prospects were better. He accepted a scholarship from the University of Michigan, where he played tight end and studied communications. For his first three seasons, however, McGee spent most fall Saturdays as just another spectator. He took internships in marketing and sports information, imagining he’d take a regular job upon graduating. “When you have three catches going into your senior year,” he says, “you’re not trying to sign an agent.”
