sports Browns tap McGill in 12th Kevin McGill Kevin McGill, the biggest man on Oregon’s football team last year, was selected Wednesday by the Cleveland Browns in the 12th round of the NFL draft. McGill, a 6-7 and 266-pound offensive tackle, was a key component of the "floating pocket” used last season in the Ducks' option offense. The Portland native's size was obviously an enticing rea son for his selection. “When you have a player of Kevin’s size and strength, you want to make a spot in the line up for him," said Oregon coach Rich Brooks. "Fortunately, we didn’t have to, because he earned his start ing job strictly on merit.” McGill was a two-year starter for Oregon. “I'm really glad he got it,” said Bob McCray, one of Oregon’s offensive line coaches "He really wanted to play pro foot ball.” McCray said McGill should adjust well to the pass-oriented Brown’s offense with quarter back Brian Sipe “That's his forte He best thing is his pass blocking.” McGill is the second Oregon player selected in this year’s draft.
