Saints corner Kool-Aid McKinstry switches to his college jersey number
Kool-Aid McKinstry is a year away from being eligible for a Saints contract extension, and the corner just switched back to his Alabama jersey number.
It's official -- Kool-Aid McKinstry is going to be wearing his fourth jersey number in just three years with the New Orleans Saints . After previously sharing his plans to pick up the No. 1 jersey Alontae Taylor left behind after signing with the Tennessee Titans in free agency, McKinstry is now listed in No.
1 on the team's official website . The veteran cornerback has finally got his hands on the number he wore in college at Alabama . McKinstry used the No.
4 jersey in his 2025 sophomore season after wearing No. 14 as a rookie; during the 2024 preseason, he went into games in No. 34.
It's been a long road to get here, but he has to be happy. Like Deion Sanders said : "If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good.
