Scouting Report: Strengths
  • McMahon moves much better than his relatively squat, square frame would suggest. Fluid and flexible, he’s capable of moving in space and latching on to moving targets at the second level.
  • Coordinated when moving to the second level as a run blocker, capable of landing blocks on the move.
  • Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #63. He wrote " The 6-4, 300-pounder leads an excellent batch of State linemen with defensive tackle Josh Harris and center Grant Gibson also worthy of spots on this list. McMahon power-cleans over 400 pounds and vertical-jumped 32 inches this offseason."
  • Has the agility, technique, and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders.
  • Shows excellent awareness against twists and stunts, and McMahon has the strong, flexible core and wide base to catch and handle moving defenders.
  • McMahon has long arms that allow him to survive as a pass protector on the edge, and he typically plays with good balance.
  • Hand placement is excellent, and he shows a good understanding of angles when climbing upfield
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Loses stamina and often fails to finish blocks on the second level
  • McMahon seems too focused on winning with his hands, too often stopping his feet. McMahon also plays with poor balance in the run game, lunging into contact rather than sinking his hips and delivering a block.
  • Finesse blocker with average arm length who doesn't use his hands well to win at the point of attack.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
