At 6-foot-4 and 203 pounds, McGee handled both duties soon after walking-on at the University of Texas, where he was a member of the Longhorns' 2005 NCAA Championship team.

Over his career at Texas, the 24-year-old McGee averaged 39.6 yards on 130 punts, while 96 of his 265 (36-percent) career kickoffs went for touchbacks.

A three year deal suggests this is more than just a camp body. Whilst Rocca should improve simply due to experience, having a genuine challenger for his spot who could help out elsewhere is a good move.

Is that figure impressive for college kickers? With the softer balls and the different kickoff point, there are a lot more touchbacks in college.
