Marcus McNeill #14 prospect in 2006 NFL Draft.

Marcus McNeill NFL Draft Bio

Marcus McNeill has been a mainstay on the Auburn line since his true freshman season. He was a Freshman All-American selection in 2002. After an All SEC season last year, he thought about leaving for the NFL but decided to stay, and it paid off. McNeill was named to everyone’s All-American lists for his on field success. McNeill is an absolutely massive specimen. He has a huge frame, tall at 6 foot 9, has a long wingspan, and weighs almost 340 pounds! He uses that size to full effect on the field and absolutely dominates in the running game. He can lock on to a defender and drive him straight into the ground. McNeill’s game is not all about power though as is a very good natural athlete and shows the ability to keep his quarterback from being hit and or sacked.

While his size gives him a lot of advantages, it can also be a negative at times. Since he is so tall, he sometimes gets too upright out of his stance, which allows defenders to neutralize his size and strength advantage. He needs to play with the same intensity on a snap to snap basis to be an impact player at the NFL level. The biggest question mark that scouts have with McNeill is that he may have some back issues that need to be looked at. If he can stay healthy, work a little on the mechanics of his position he should be a standout.

There isn’t a better right tackle prospect in this draft. His ability to dominate at the point makes him a perfect fit on the ride side of any line and he has the natural athleticism to play on the left side as well. If he can stay low off the snap, keep his balance, he has the ability to dominate as a pass blocker as well. With all his natural talent, McNeill has a chance to go very high come draft day. He should hear his name called in the Top 20 at some point, though some concerns about his back may cause him to slide come draft day if teams are scared off.
