Former Alabama defensive back Kool-Aid McKinstry is expected to be an early-round selection in the upcoming NFL draft. His play is what makes him an NFL-caliber player, but his name is what originally catches people’s attention.
McKinstry was born with a big smile on his face, comparable to that of the Kool-Aid Man’s, so his family began calling him Kool-Aid from birth.
While at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, McKinstry, who has a deal with Kool-Aid Brand, was tasked with putting his taste buds to the test. Without looking at the flavor, McKinstry had to guess the flavor.
The Combine can be a stressful time for many, but McKinstry was able to have fun at the event, despite receiving some rather unexpected news regarding a foot injury.
Of course we had to do a @koolaid taste test with THE @GaQMcK1 đź’Ş@kimmichex | @AlabamaFTBL | #NFLCombine2024 pic.twitter.com/ypLvVR9gMH
