Lions land highly touted Howard U. QB Greg McGhee

VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions have reached an agreement with highly touted NCAA quarterback Greg McGhee, the CFL team announced this morning.

"Having had an opportunity to meet Greg in person, I am very impressed by his intelligence, athletic ability and eagerness to learn and compete," head coach Jeff Tedford said in a statement. "He's got some great credentials and I look forward to having him come up here and try to earn a spot on our club." 
The left-handed McGhee, a four-year starter for the Howard University Bisons, bypassed the National Football League combine in Indianapolis this week to join the Leos, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported last night.



McGhee was selected the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) co-offensive player of the year last season when he passed for 2,379 yards and 16 touchdowns and rushed for 896 yards and three more scores

The left-handed dual threat quarterback has been compared in playing style to NFL quarterback Michael Vick.
