Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takk McKinley has set a high-stakes goal for next season.
Since being drafted No. 26 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, McKinley has improved his sack total each season. He recorded six sacks as a rookie. In 2018, McKinley led the Falcons with seven. Next season, he’s aiming for double-digits. If he falls short, McKinley has promised to cut his dreadlocks.
If I don’t get double digit sacks next year I’m getting my dreads cut off..

It’s completely reasonable to expect McKinley to continue his growth as a player as he enters his third year. If he does, the Falcons will certainly benefit from it. As for McKinley, he will get to keep a hair he was willing to pay up to $3000 for.
