Magee had a strong showing at the NFL scouting combine and is drawing interest from NFL teams ahead of the next month's draft.byThe last time a Temple football player was selected in the NFL draft was in 2020, when the Eagles selected former Owls linebacker Shaun Bradley in the sixth round. Four years later, another Temple linebacker is at the center of attention locally to break that drought.
“I just wanted to show them that I love to compete,” Magee said afterward. “It will be a blessing , and recruits coming in, show the guys that you can make it from Temple. Whether it’s undrafted free agent or just being drafted. I feel like these past couple of weeks, it’s a testimony to how hard I worked and the work that I put in at the school.”
“He’s just been telling me like really be myself, you’re here for a reason, you got here for a reason, and be honest,” Magee explained. “The most things I heard was I like to put my nose in things, I’m a physical linebacker not afraid of contact, especially for my smaller size.”
