Just how good has Jerick McKinnon been at protecting his hobbled star quarterback? ConorOrr asked a real-life bodyguard to rate McKinnon’s work
A hobbled Patrick Mahomes took the snap in shotgun. He stepped up in the pocket, shuffled to his left and spotted Foyesade Oluokun, a 230-pound free-running blitzer who had a clean shot at him.
Oluokun tumbled backward, trying to find stability like a bird who’d just flown into a window. For another down, the Chiefs’ quarterback maintained a clean uniform. “[Jerick’s] doing an outstanding job,” Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bienemy, himself a former punishing, pass-blocking back in the NFL, told reporters a few weeks back. “That’s a thing, probably one of the most underrated deals, something people don’t think about when they mention his name. Jerick has always been a great pass protector. … He brings a lot to the table. He does a great job in protection.
Davis agreed to watch a clip of McKinnon in the backfield and offer some professional critiques, while also providing us with a look at what makes an ideal bodyguard. He agreed that the running back seemed to satisfy his three essentials for elite bodyguarding.“I don’t have to say nothin’; I can just look at you. The look I give people is like, ‘You need to get the f--- up out of here. Turn around, get the f--- up out of here and walk out the room.’ And I can say that with my eyes.
