One of the New York Jets’ preseason standouts had a chance to talk about his football journey.
After Saturday’s game against the New York Giants, edge rusher Takk McKinley spoke about what pushed him to keep playing football after so much adversity.
“I think for me, it’s just my faith and the people that believe in me. Knowing I didn’t have a mom or dad growing up, I was raised by my grandma and my auntie. They could have easily given up on me, but they didn’t give up on me. So, for me, it was like I couldn’t give up on myself.
