Kool-Aid McKinstry CB Alabama

Dominant Stat: 99 Punt/Kick Return

First of all, what a nickname. As cool as the nickname is, it works even better because it fits him so well: the Kool-Aid man busts into rooms and Kool-Aid McKinstry busts up plays as he led the nation in pass breakups last year.

The argument can be made that he’s the best returner in the country as well and I’d be hard-pressed to debate it. When you are a returner for a team you are generally one of the best athletes on the roster. When you’re a returner for Alabama on a team that features Jahmyr Gibbs and dozens of blue-chip recruits, you’re a truly special player.

Alabama is a cheat code when it comes to video games. It’s like playing as the Warriors in NBA 2K or the 2008 Patriots in Madden (yeah, I’m old, don’t worry about it). That being said, if you’re looking for a dynasty team, taking over for Nick Saban and trying to outdo the legacy that he’s built would be a pretty cool time, and players like McKinstry could make it even more fun.
