He excelled as a running back at the University of Oklahoma, where he was coached by the renowned Bud Wilkinson and never played in a losing game. He received the Maxwell Award in 1956, and was an All-American in 1955 and 1956.
McDonald entered the NFL in 1957 and played for 12 years as a wide receiver. Drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, he helped lead them to a 1960 NFL Championship. He was selected for six Pro Bowls during his NFL career, led the league in touchdown receptions twice (1958, 1960), and led the NFL in receiving yards once (1960). He also played for the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns.
McDonald retired after the 1968 season with 495 receptions for 8,410 yards and 84 touchdowns, the second-highest total of touchdown receptions in NFL history at the time.
