The 2024 NFL Draft class appears to be remarkably strong at the most important positions. There’s been a lot of discussion of the quarterback, wide receiver, and offensive tackle class.
As it so happens, the 2024 cornerback class looks to be strong and deep as well.
Alabama corner Ga’Quincy McKinstry, better known by the “Kool-Aid” nickname his grandmother gave him as a baby, is going to be something of a wildcard at the top of this class. McKinstry was highly regarded this year, but saw other corners draft stock eclipse his in the public. He’s almost slipped below the radar after Combine medicals found a fracture in his right foot and he wasn’t able to work out.
