<p>After releasing the franchise leader in tackles (A.J. Hawk), the Green Bay Packers will head into this offseason in the market for a new inside linebacker to partner up with current All-Pro Clay Matthews.</p> <p>What better way to accomplish this by pairing one of the league’s most athletic linebackers with one of the most agile linebacker in college football.</p> <p>With a 40-yard dash in the 4.5’s and a 34-inch vertical leap, Benardrick McKinney is just that. At Mississippi State, McKinney wreaked havoc, leading the Bulldogs in tackles for consecutive seasons.</p> <p>McKinney is an extremely physical linebacker and a gifted tackler; his play should translate to the league. With this pick filling a need on the Packers defense, McKinney and the Packers might be a match for each other.</p>. Linebacker. Mississippi State. Benardrick McKinney. 30. player. 49
