What happened: NFL Films unveiled the safety's position on the player-voted 2026 rankings during the league's July offseason roll-out. The selection places him among a trio of Green Bay contributors recognized in the 70s on the annual countdown.

Why it matters: McKinney joins quarterback Jordan Love at No. 72 and running back Josh Jacobs at No. 74 on the 2026 list. The recognition reflects the defensive back's impact in the secondary following Green Bay's recent offseason extensions to solidify the defensive depth chart.

What to watch: The league will unveil the remaining 69 players on the countdown over the coming weeks. Green Bay reports to mandatory training camp later this month as the roster prepares for preseason competition.
