Xavier McKinney projects best in a modern two-high safety system that leverages aggressive run support and versatile coverage assignments in the box and in split-safety alignments.
Year 1 starter capable of playing multiple safety roles from the box to deep halves, eventually developing into a Pro Bowl caliber playmaking strong safety.
A traditional single-high Cover 1 or Cover 3 scheme that primarily tasks its strong safety with static box responsibilities and limited coverage variations.
McKinney's intelligence, instincts and physicality make him a versatile chess piece in complex defensive schemes, despite his average straight-line speed.
Selected #36 overall in Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft by New York Giants out of Alabama.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
