MOBILE, Ala. — Checking in at the Senior Bowl is kind of like speed dating. As college seniors check in to the Renaissance Marriot Hotel in Mobile they fill out initial paperwork and then a tap on the shoulder. It’s a scout, a coach, a general manager or some sort of staffer from one of 32 NFL teams in attendance this week. This is the first encounter of many and with it the weeklong interview process is on.
Jake McGee, maybe even more so than most, is happy to be in the situation.
As he was laying on the field in 2014 the thoughts running through McGee’s mind ranged from the pain in his leg to the new uncertainty of his immediate future.
