Freeman Brown and Ricky Perry were just about his size, just nowhere as talented.
 
Product of Lackawanna Junior College, Scranton PA.

Went to 2001 national championship, ended up at the hotel after party with the team. McKinnie recognized my cousin, who was a bartender at the college bar in Scranton. We partied with him and the rest of the team all night long. Good dude, dominant tackle.
 
I don't know why he didn't become as dominant once he got in the NFL

I always thought that besides ed reed, he was gonna be the sure fire hall of famer that came out of that draft from the canes
 
A buddy of mine was an athletic trainer for the Vikings. They were visiting Buffalo. They went to the anchor bar (first place wings were invented or so they say). He told me McKinnie ate 7 dozen & took 5 dozen to go bahahahaha

I remember his first game as Viking after a long hold out was against the fins. He hit Jason Taylor so hard with a heart punch that I though Jason was dead. Rookie straight for hold out against all pro, no cont3st.
 
on a thursday night last year, a close friend of mine texted me telling me to come to wood tavern in wynwood and hang with a couple of friends of hers. i show up and lo and behold, mckinnie is sitting there intently listening to a story my friend was telling. we ended up heading out to Sidebar in Brickell afterwards, he knew the bartender so we were getting round after round. nice guy who enjoys socializing and hanging out with a lot of people. his drink of choice is Moscow Mule, btw
 
I was in the OB in 2001, when a heralded defensive end named Dwight Freeney came to town. All I heard the whole week was how Freeney was going to terrorize Dorsey and Syracuse would spank Miami.

At the end of the night, Freeney had 0 sacks, 0 tackles, and 0 assists. McKinnie totally vaporized him. Oh, and Miami won 59-0.

We heckled Freeney so bad through the entire 4th quarter that he moved to the other end of the field to get away from the berating. What a wonderful 2 weeks those were....59-0 vs Syracuse and 65-7 vs Washington. Payback games. Back to back games in the OB.....I'll never forget those for as long as I live.

He made the 2009 pro bowl and allowed the sack that ended Favre’s consecutive game streak.

Those two things should get him into nfl hall of fame (IMHO)

That 124-7 combined score is still the NCAA record for Margin of Victory over back to back ranked opponents.
 
For all his size, he was more of a technique, finesse pass blocker than a mauling run blocker which I think affected some people's opinion of him in the NFL. Plus the dude was a legendary night owl (not always the best lifestyle if you want a long career as an athlete) Still he had a very respectable career.
 
Now imagine that you're a bouncer at Space that probably thinks he's tough. Then imagine Mount McKinnie not only enraged at you but also swinging what was described as a "very large piece of construction scaffolding" by some and "an enormous pole that was part of a building" by others at your head. If that story is actually true then I'm kinda surprised that the bouncer didn't just drop dead of a coronary event right there before McKinnie could even make any contact.
