Alabama did not have a defensive back taken in the first round of the recent NFL Draft.
Ga’Quincy “Kool-Aid” McKinstry has an opportunity to be a first-rounder for 2024. He returns for his junior season as a former five-star cornerback from Birmingham, Ala. McKinstry improved his performance between his freshman to sophomore years, totaling a team-high 15 pass breakups and an interception in 2022. He also showcased his ability as a punt return specialist.
