The NY Jets claim former first-round pick, pass-rusher Takkarist McKinley.
The NY Jets have been struggling to find a consistent pass-rush presence for over a decade at this point. And with that in mind, why not take a flier on a player like Takkarist McKinley?
McKinley, who was recently waived, was originally drafted by the Atlanta Falcons with the 26th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Atlanta hoped that they were landing a defensive difference-maker who could provide consistent pressure off the edge.
