Early life

College career

On February 8, 1998, McGill accepted a football scholarship to Illinois to play fullback, drawing comparisons to Byron Morris.[2]

Professional career

He was selected with the 3rd pick by the Utah Blaze during the 2005 expansion draft,[3] but never played with the Blaze because he was trying to make the Packers roster.
