The Saints have drafted former Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry with the 41st pick in the 2024 NFL draft
The former cornerback from the Alabama Crimson Tide’s real name is Ga’Quincy McKinstry, but his nickname Kool-Aid has been with him since his birth. Arguably the top cornerback of this class, and with good reason, McKinstry is great in both zone and man coverages. McKinstry is also good in the return game giving him bonus points, almost making him a shoe-in to make the Saints opening day roster.
McKinstry joins the Saints and will immediately make an impact giving them an all-around cornerback that can play all over the field. The Saints now have their long-term option at cornerback for years to come.
