Alabama’s Kool-Aid McKinstry Runs 4.47 40-Yard Dash With Broken Toe at Pro Day

Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry is hoping to be one of the top defensive backs off the board in the NFL draft next month, and his 40-yard-dash at Alabama’s pro day on Wednesday likely helped his draft stock.

Despite having a Jones fracture in a toe in his foot, McKinstry clocked a 4.47-second 40-yard dash. His ability to run a time that fast with a broken toe that will require surgery on Friday is a testament to his speed, athleticism and durability.

McKinstry is expected to be ready for the start of rookie mini camp later this spring, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

McKinstry played 42 games across his three seasons with the Crimson Tide, recording 62 total tackles, five tackles for loss, two sacks and two interceptions. He was named first-team All-SEC in 2022 and ’23, and was an Associated Press first-team All-American selection last season as he helped Alabama reach the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl.
