It’s one thing to be able to play multiple positions, but it’s another thing to be able to play multiple positions as well as Oregon defensive back Verone McKinley III does.
The ball-hawking safety had 6 interceptions in 2021, which tied him for the most picks in the FBS this past season. He exploded as a consensus first-team All-American while taking on a massive role for the Ducks’ defense. Not only did he play in traditional single-high and two-high shells at safety, but he also covered out of the slot and in the box at a high level.
Draft Wire had the chance to speak exclusively with McKinley about his pre-draft preparation with Exos, developing in a loaded Oregon secondary, going to the Senior Bowl, and much more.
