One of the best players on the Oregon Ducks 2021 roster is getting a boost heading into the 2022 NFL draft. He was added to the Senior Bowl roster on Tuesday.
Verone McKinley, who finished the 2021 season with 44 tackles and 6 interceptions in 14 games, will be among the best veteran players in college football looking to enhance their draft value in the senior showcase, which is orchestrated by NFL coaches and GMs as they get an up-close look at some of the talent coming into the draft.
McKinley is among the best safeties in the upcoming draft class, having finished his college career with 100 total tackles, 11 interceptions and 21 passes defended. This early, it’s hard to project where he might go in the draft, but it’s hard to believe he would slip past the fourth or fifth round.
