Rams sign Takk McKinley

[Elmgrovegnome]

I just read a story on Tak about him growing up. He said he now realizes that his body is where he makes his money and that he needs to take care of it. So he’s been on a strict diet, taking his vitamins and focusing on being in great health.

Maybe this is the year that he turns it around.

McKinley’s story and background received a ton of attention on Draft Night back in 2017. Probably the largest non-QB, human interest story.

Parents not around for most of his life, raised by his grandmother who encouraged him to pursue his dream of playing football before she passed away. On Draft Night, he carried a large picture of his deceased grandmother and was very emotional. An F-bomb or two were heard.

Remember thinking that he came across as a nice, emotional young man but may be a little immature; and that could slow his development. Reading his comments with Rams’ media on the Team’s site, McKinley sounds like he has matured. Hope his body and athleticism hold-up.
