The 2024 NFL draft wrapped on Saturday and the Alabama Crimson Tide saw 10 of its now former players selected during the seven-round event that encompassed three days in Detroit.
One former Crimson Tide star who had his name called was cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry who is headed to New Orleans to play with the Saints.
Before the draft, Kool-Aid joined Robert Griffin III’s YouTube show to discuss his path to the NFL. While on the show, RG3 asked McKinstry about the Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback [autotag]Jalen Milroe[/autotag] and Kool-Aid offered some shockingly high praise for Alabama’s signal caller.
Watch and see what McKinstry had to say about Milroe!

It’s fair to say that Kool-Aid has a ton of faith in Milroe’s ability to play the quarterback position and he certainly has the tools to be one of the most highly sought-after prospects in the 2025 NFL draft. Whether or not he can become the first QB taken or not remains to be seen.
