McKinney recorded nine total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Bears. The first-year Packer posted a season-high nine stops in Sunday's narrow win, tying Carrington Valentine as Green Bay's leading tackler. McKinney has had a phenomenal start to his tenure in Green Bay, tallying 51 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and intercepting six passes while playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps through 10 games. He's expected to continue making plays as one of the NFL's top safeties when the Packers host the 49ers in Week 12.
McKinney recorded six tackles (four solo) and an interception during Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville. After Sunday's win, McKinney now has an interception in six of the Packers' eight games, and he's alone at the top of the league in that category heading into Week 9. McKinney and Green Bay are now in line to host the Lions and Jared Goff, who has thrown 13 touchdowns and just four interceptions through seven games in 2024.
McKinney recorded six total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans. McKinney continued his stretch of impressive play in Sunday's win, bringing his season totals up to 30 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and five interceptions across Green Bay's first seven games. The first-year Packer still leads the NFL in interceptions despite not having recorded a pick in either of his last two contests. With the emergence of 2024 fourth-round pick Evan Williams, the Packers' new and improved safety duo is shaping up to be one of the best in the league. Expect McKinney to continue making plays as Green Bay takes on the Jaguars in Week 8.
McKinney recorded three total tackles (two solo) and defended two passes, including one interception, in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Rams. McKinney made history by intercepting Matthew Stafford in the third quarter of Sunday's win, becoming the first player since 1970 to record an interception in each of his first five games with a team. The Alabama product continues to prove why the Packers made him one of the highest-paid safeties in the NFL this past offseason, having now recorded 20 total tackles and six passes defended, including five interceptions, across 320 defensive snaps. McKinney will look to extend his interception streak in Week 6 when the Packers host the Cardinals.
McKinney recorded four tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings. McKinney continues showing why the Packers inked him to a lucrative long-term contract over the offseason, as he has now recorded an interception in all four games he has appeared in for Green Bay. McKinney is well on his way to surpassing the career-high five picks he recorded with the Giants back in 2021.
McKinney tallied five tackles (four solo) and an interception in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans. It was another pedestrian day in the tackle department for a player who racked up 116 stops in 2023, but he made up for it by picking off his league-leading third pass. McKinney has played every defensive snap through three weeks, and considering he did the same in all 17 games he appeared in with the Giants last year, that trend is likely to continue.
McKinney logged four total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, and nabbed one interception during Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts. The first-year Packer continues to show why Green Bay made him one of the highest-paid safeties in the NFL, picking off Anthony Richardson in the first quarter of Sunday's win. McKinney has recorded just eight total tackles in his first two games with the Packers, but after posting 116 tackles in 2023, his production in that area is expected to pick up soon.
McKinney tallied four tackles (three solo) and an interception in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles. McKinney signed a lucrative contract with the Packers over the offseason, and he made an immediate impact, picking off Jalen Hurts on Philadelphia's opening drive. McKinney did not do much in the tackle department, but he recorded 116 stops last season, so that will not necessarily be the norm.
The Packers and McKinney agreed to terms on a four-year, $68 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. McKinney is coming off a career-best 116 tackles with the Giants in 2023, supplementing that total with three interceptions, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and 0.5 sacks in 17 contests. With Darnell Savage moving on to the Jaguars earlier Monday, safety was among the top needs for the Packers this offseason, and McKinney will slot in as the team's new starting free safety.
