Bryant McKinnie<\/a> is ready to trade the trenches for the draft room!<\/p>\n The retired Pro Bowl tackle, who starred for the Minnesota Vikings and later won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens, recently swung by the TMZ offices, where he told Babcock he’d love a front office gig so he can finally start fixing some of the head-scratching decisions he sees from the couch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI would like to work in the front office and try to help them out,\u201d McKinnie said. \u201cSometimes I sit there, I\u2019m like, \u2018Who was making these decisions?\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 6’7″ big man continued … “Sometimes I just feel like the picks just aren\u2019t making sense sometimes.”<\/p>\n McKinnie said he’s particularly interested in recruiting and drafting … and he’s obviously got a wealth of experience from his pro football playing days in Minnesota and Baltimore.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Speaking of, we asked Bryant if he’d consider reaching out to any of his former teams lookin’ for a job.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, I don\u2019t know if I want to live back in Minnesota,” McKinnie said laughing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n “I wouldn\u2019t mind the Chargers, you know, somewhere with nice weather. The Dolphins, anybody. I feel like the Dolphins need somebody to come in who really has some wherewithal, like know what\u2019s going on, kind of help because I sometimes just don\u2019t know what the picks are.\u201d<\/p>\n Bryant clearly has strong opinions on roster building … the question is, will an organization give him a chance to work behind the scenes?<\/p>\n There’s a bunch more with McKinnie … where we talk all about life after football (Bryant’s got businesses<\/a>, a podcast<\/a>, and a bunch more going on!), and how teams will possibly block Myles Garrett<\/a> and Aaron Donald<\/a> — if AD returns.<\/p>\n Check out the full interview!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryant McKinnie Gunning To Work In NFL Front Office … Put Me In, Coach!!!
