Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry is hoping to be one of the top defensive backs off the board in the NFL draft next month, and his 40-yard-dash at Alabama’s pro day on Wednesday likely helped his draft stock.
Despite having a Jones fracture in a toe in his foot, McKinstry clocked a 4.47-second 40-yard dash. His ability to run a time that fast with a broken toe that will require surgery on Friday is a testament to his speed, athleticism and durability.
Alabama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry probably made himself some money here at pro day, running a 40 that scouts clocked as low as 4.47 — despite a Jones fracture that doctors discovered at the combine. He’ll have surgery Friday and is expected to be full go for camp. pic.twitter.com/mee0fEihE3
