McKinley’s agent, Andrew Bondarowicz, said family and friends are at a loss to explain the death of a young man “who had such a love for life.”
“There’s nothing that we can point to and say, you know what, that’s the sign that something was wrong or that he was struggling,” Bondarowicz said. “At the end of the day, he was still an NFL player. Even the theories of financial difficulties, it was not like he was cut from the roster. You still get paid on injured reserve.”
McKinley signed a four-year deal worth just under $2 million last year after the Broncos selected him in the fifth round of the draft. He was making $395,000 this season even though he was hurt.
