According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, doctors found a Jones fracture in McKinstry’s right foot during the medical evaluation. The All-American defender for the Tide will save his workout for Alabama’s Pro Day, which is on March 20.

McKinstry was listed at 6’1″ on Alabama’s roster, but his height fell to 5’11” at the Combine.
He comes in slightly under 200 pounds (199), but McKinstry carries a thick build. The Birmingham native and former five-star recruit brings 32″ arms and a 75 5/8″ wingspan. He collected 32 total tackles in 2023 with two tackles for loss and seven pass breakups. His growth in technique made him into one of the most consistent cornerbacks in the Southeastern Conference.
