Brandon Magee is a two-sport athlete in the ultra-competitive Pac-12 (he's also an outfielder on the Sun Devil football team), so its safe to assume that he's a good athlete. Magee is an athletic linebacker, with very good speed, strength and athleticism. Like the other LB invitees to the Ranch last week, he’s a plus defender in pass coverage, and has even flashed some pass rushing skill. And he's an RKG, a "model citizen" who was a team captain, and the Sun Devil defense's leader in the locker room and its heart and soul on the field. He's a very intelligent player and, although undersized, plays with a hard-nosed, blue-collar mentality.
In 2010, Magee finished second to current Bengal Vontaze Burfict with 73 (including five TFLS and 1.5 sacks), earning honorable mention all-conference honors.After being sidelined in 2011 due to an Achilles injury, to lead the team with 113 tackles and career numbers in tackles for loss, sacks, and interceptions. Although his stats were impressive, observers noted that he spent the season playing a step slower than he had before the injury, a suspicion that was reinforced as Magee posted a 4.74 40-yard dash at the Combine in Indianapolis
This less-than-one-hundred-percent Magee is evident on tape, in Pac-12 action against what was perhaps the nations best offense in Oregon. At ASU's pro day, however, Magee performed more like his 2010 self, posting a 4.53 forty, and adding 29-inch vertical and 9'6" broad jumps. Want to see the pre-injury Magee in action? Check out this highlight reel compiled by an ASU fan and this short draft prospect clip.
