Season so far
Xavier McKinney's 2026 campaign is just getting underway, with his lone appearance producing a replacement-level 60.6 overall grade across 76 snaps. With only one game played so far, it is still too early to identify a weekly trajectory. His initial performance was driven by a sharp split between facets, excelling against the pass while struggling mightily against the run. In coverage, he posted a solid 70.7 mark highlighted by reading the quarterback's eyes for a robber interception and minimizing yards after the catch. However, his 51.8 run defense grade proved to be a major liability, as he was repeatedly sealed inside by pulling guards and missed a key open-field tackle that surrendered a 31-yard gain.
