McGahee taking laid-back approach to backup role

Willis McGahee is taking a laid-back approach to his third season as a backup running back.

McGahee, 28, had been the primary ball-carrier for the first four seasons of his career, gaining over 1,100 yards rushing three times. But he was the No. 2 running back to Le’Ron McClain in 2008 and to Ray Rice in 2009.

“The situation is what it is,” McGahee said on Sunday, the final day of the Ravens’ mandatory minicamp. “I can’t control destiny. If I play, I play. If I don’t, I don’t. Right now, I learned the way of way: Don’t worry about it and just roll with the punches.”

McGahee said he heard the rumors of the Ravens possibly trading him during the offseason.

“I wasn’t going to stress about it,” he said. “I’m not worried.”
