CB Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama

Kool-Aid McKinstry, the cornerback from Alabama, has garnered attention for his exceptional skills on the field. Standing 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, McKinstry has the ideal physical attributes to excel as an outside cornerback.

McKinstry’s mirror ability and recovery speed in press coverage are NFL-caliber. His hips are fluid and explosive, allowing him to stay with receivers down the field. His instincts and ball skills are evident in his 18 forced incompletions, showcasing his ability to make plays on the ball.

While he needs to improve his strength to mitigate separation and penalties, McKinstry’s overall skill set makes him a projected first-round pick.
