‘”There are three phases of football,” said McKillop. “Usually, the team that wins two out of the three phases wins. So, a lot of people don’t give enough credit to special teams. I take pride in that part of the game because that is where the hidden yardage is, that is where you can flip the field on a team. You need some head busters on special teams and that is one of the things I pride myself on is being one of the guys to go down there and set the tempo.”‘

Now for a guy to come in and say, ‘This is why you’re missing that throw low,’ for him to actually have evidence for me to look at and say, ‘OK. It looks like that’s something I really need to work on,’ and for a guy to be as respected as he is, to be as knowledgeable as he is, that’s somebody that I’m going to listen to every time."’
