Things fell apart quickly with Takkarist McKinley and the Atlanta Falcons. Coming into the 2020 season with new booked Dante Fowler and additional inside help thanks to Marlon Davidson, many were expecting this to be McKinley’s season. He showed some serious ability to rack up sacks in his first two years but did not do much, thanks in part to injuries, in his third season.
Cut to another slew of injuries, another Twitter tirade, a team-imposed fine, then finally the team officially washing their hands of McKinley, the pass rusher’s chance to show out in 2020 had to come on another team.
