Across 12 matches, McKee contributes reliably on both sides of the ball, averaging just under four carries and more than four tackles per game. His defensive output is the standout trait, with a peak of 12 tackles in a single match pointing to a player willing to put in the hard yards when needed. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, consistently gaining ground without dominating the gainline.
