After splitting reps with Ty Sambrailo at right tackle in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, McGary was named the Falcons starting right tackle.[10] As a rookie, he started all 16 games for the Falcons in the 2019 season.[11]
McGary started 13 of 16 games in 2020 for the Falcons.[12] He was injured in week 2 against Dallas and left the game.

McGary was unavailable for Atlanta's Week 14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, and had missed five consecutive practices while attending to a family matter.
