- The New Orleans Saints made a second-round pick on Friday, selecting a player who feels overlooked. Ga’Quincy McKinstry, also known as “Kool-Aid,” a former University of Alabama standout, was widely expected to go in the first round of the NFL Draft. However, he ended up being chosen as the 41st overall pick.
McKinstry is determined to prove his worth in New Orleans, particularly to those who passed on him in the first round. He joins a list of talented Alabama alumni who also dropped to later rounds in the draft but found success in the NFL, including Brian Branch, Xavier McKinney, Trevon Diggs, and Landon Collins.
Robert Griffin III, a former NFL player and now an ESPN analyst, commended the Saints for their choice, expressing his belief that McKinstry will make a significant impact for the team.
