Although he lacks sudden twitch in his movements, McKinstry plays with a confident and controlled demeanor. NFL scouts say that both\u00a0LSU\u00a0receivers in this draft class (Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.) have called McKinstry the best cornerback they faced in college. He raises the degree of difficulty for completions with his length and ability to play through the hands of receivers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
McKinstry had an incredible career, and was always the top cornerback for the Tide, which is why seeing their other cornerback rising up to the top guy is interesting. McKinstry had 16 passes defensed and an interception last year, and had seven passes defensed this year in his All-American campaign.<\/p>\n
\nOverall, McKinstry doesn\u2019t play with high-level speed or aggression, but he is a long, smooth athlete with the football IQ that should translate quickly to an NFL field. His game reminds me of James Bradberry\u2019s, and he will compete for starting reps as a rookie.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
While Bradberry is a little bigger, he played incredible in Gannon\u2019s defense in his one season with the Eagles and Gannon. And I see what Dane\u2019s vision is and why so many see McKinstry as a great fit in the 27-35 range in this draft.<\/p>\n
