some athleticism and twitch I didn't expect. He is far from trash and even DJ Reader was bad as a rookie. People can hate on taking a
NT that early in the Draft, but where we took him was exactly where I thought McKinnley would go, in the 3rd.
The one time that McKinnley Jackson stood out to me was on a WR screen, where McKinnely Jackson took off after the fast receiver. He didn't tackle him, but he got to him just after he was tackled 10 yards past the line of scrimmage. In other words, Jackson was hustling his ass off trying to get the speedy receiver. It showed to me that he may have the right internal drive. That was not the case with Sweat and many physical specimens who never seemed to have the work ethic or passion. That's my hope, at least. If he has the work ethic and passion for football, he has the physical attributes.
