It’s pretty obvious that Falcons’ linebacker Takkarist McKinley isn’t too shy to talk about himself.
This week, McKinley made it clear the intensity he radiated at the NFL Draft isn’t going away any time soon.
"I'm relentless,” McKinley said, according to the Atlanta Falcons. “I do have the best motor in this class. I'm just somebody that goes hard no matter what. If it's a screen pass, I'm chasing you down.”
McKinley first proved how passionate he can be after his name was called No. 26 overall at the 2017 NFL Draft. McKinley dropped an f-bomb on live television in an interview with former Falcon Deion Sanders, but was not fined.
