  • McAfee posted a grateful, profanity-laced message on X and specifically thanked coach Rich Rodriguez for the opportunity to be a Mountaineer.
  • At WVU, he was a 2008 first-team All-American and set school records for games played (51), points (384) and extra points made (210).
  • He was drafted by the Colts in the seventh round in 2009, earned All-Pro honors in 2014, made the Pro Bowl in 2014 and 2016 and recorded a 41.1 career net punting average.
