Tanner Jeremie McKee (born April 27, 2000) is an American professional football quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Stanford Cardinal and was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft.

Early life

McKee attended Centennial High School in Corona, California. He played in the 2018 U.S. Army All-American Bowl and 2018 Polynesian Bowl, where he was named MVP.[1][2] McKee committed to Stanford University to play college football.[3]

College career

McKee spent two years on a mission in Brazil for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before playing at Stanford.[4][5][6] His first season with the team was 2020, in which he played in one game, completing three passes for 62 yards against the then 12th-ranked Oregon Ducks. McKee competed with Jack West for the starting job in 2021. Although West started during the season opener against the Kansas State Wildcats, McKee still attempted 18 passes, completing 15 of them for 118 yards and a touchdown.[7] He was named the starter for the following week's game against the USC Trojans.[8][9] In just his 4th collegiate start, McKee led the unranked Cardinal to a miraculous upset victory against the #3 ranked Oregon Ducks, throwing 3 touchdowns and spearheading an 87-yard game-tying drive at the end of the 4th quarter.[10]
