Instead of forcing the wide receiver here with the 19th pick, they are going to take the linebacker who can make plays all over the field. They are going to take a rough and tough playmaker who will step in on day one and be a star.
This 6-5 249 pound player plays my favorite position in all of football. I loved watch Mississippi State play football for a reason. McKinney is a linebacker who plays fast and hits like a freight train.
