Falcons’ Takk McKinley says Marshawn Lynch ‘has the same kind of attitude I do’
Takkarist McKinley (UCLA) poses with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell as he holds a photo of his grandmother as he is selected as the number 26 overall pick to the Atlanta Falcons in the first round the 2017 NFL Draft at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Atlanta Falcons linebacker Takkarist McKinley thinks he and All-Pro running back Marshawn Lynch have something important in common— their attitudes.
Bleacher Report's Dan Pompei reported on Friday the Falcons' first-round 2017 Draft pick looks up to Lynch, a fellow native of California's East Bay.
"Marshawn has the same kind of attitude I do," McKinely said, according to Pompei. "He's going to be who he is; either you like him or not."
A former pass rusher at UCLA, McKinley was selected 26th overall by the Falcons in the 2017 NFL Draft.
