The NFL regular season is still more than three months away, but it seems like Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takk McKinley is already tired of dealing with the media. Either that, or he was just in no mood to answer questions this week.
McKinley spoke with reporters briefly at OTAs on Thursday, and you could have mistaken him for Marshawn Lynch. He answered every question — all of which seemed reasonable — with some variation of “pretty good.”

It’s unclear what was bothering McKinley, but we certainly know the former first-round pick is an intense guy. That became evident with the way he reacted when the Falcons drafted him in the first round two years ago. If that’s the way he plans to treat the media for the rest of OTAs and training camp, they might as well walk right past him in the locker room.
