UCLA coach Jim Mora explains Takkarist McKinley's reaction at the NFL draft, why he got into coaching, relationships with college players, and Josh Rosen's comments.

Falcons pass rusher Takk McKinley dropped an “F” bomb on live TV after the team made him a first-round pick. To little surprised, it wasn’t his only utterance of the eff-dash-dash-dash word for the evening.

Appearing on Thursday’s PFT Live, UCLA coach Jim Mora shared some details about his evening with McKinley, who played for Mora. Excited hearing from new teammates like Julio Jones and Matt Ryan, McKinley blurted out, “Coach, I’m a f--king first-round draft pick!”

McKinley, as Mora noted, is one of 37 former UCLA players currently with NFL teams. Mora believes as many as 33 will make it to the final 53-man rosters.

For more from Mora, who shared nearly 20 minutes of his time roughly two weeks away from the regular-season debut against Texas A&M, checked out the video.
