Because there has been such a high correlation in recent years between the top collegians invited to Valley Ranch for pre-draft visits and who the Cowboys end up drafting, it's important to know as much as possible about these players. As a service to you, BTB offers a series of detailed scouting reports on these players, compiled from the work of top draft analysts. Today, we look at Mississippi State LB Bernardrick McKinney

Bernardrick McKinney played quarterback and linebacker in high school, but moved to the defensive huddle full-time upon arrival at MSU.
