T

HE ROOKIE quarterback wa s mak-

ing the kindof throwshe had seen

so many times before, ev en making

something out of nothing with hislegs,

and asXavierMcKinney watchedit all

from afar with pride, it was almost as if

he was back at practice at Alabama trying

to match wits withTua Tagovailoa and

inter cept him.

“I got hima couple

of times,man,” McKin-

ney told Serby Says, and

laughed. “It’s hard to get

inter ceptionsoff ofhim.

He doesn’t really make

a whole bunchof bad

decisions.He doesn’t

make a whole bunchof bad reads, to be

honest.I got a couple , but the ball that he

throws, if you watch it onTV, it’s re ally

pret ty, it’s on-point accurate ev ery single

time, wh etherhe ’s ge tt ing pres sur ed or

he’s not.He almost throwsthe same ball

as hedoesif he’s not getting pres sured

andwhen he actually is getting pres -

sured. That’s the beauty of him and how

he throws the ball.”

McKinney is thebl ue-chiprookiesafe-

ty draf te d by the Giants in thesecond

round,who is closeto returning froma

fractured foot suffere d in training camp.

In thewake of his formerteammate

andfriend’s triumphantsecond start

for Miami lastSunday against Arizona’s

Kyler Murray, McKinney offere d

a message

for a

city and

a fran-

chise and

a fan base

starvingfor

the endof a

treacherous

post-Dan Marino curse.

“You go t a helluva QB, man,”

McKinney said. “Yougot a good

guy in general. He’s a grea t person,

so that’s all yo u can reall y ask fo r. I

think they should bere all y ex cit ed in

what the future holds with having him as

theirQB.”
