According to Bleacher Report's Jordan Schultz, McKinstry has an official top-30 visit scheduled with the Eagles this month.

The 6-foot-1 and 195-pound cornerback is a highly-touted projected first-round pick.
As a three-year starter with the Crimson Tide, McKinstry managed 93 combined tackles, two sacks, 23 passes defended and two interceptions. He also returned 37 punts for 418 yards.
McKinstry has had an interesting pre-draft process after he opted out of the on-field testing at the NFL Combine in February following a medical exam that showed he had a Jones fracture in his right foot.
As Schultz noted, that didn't stop McKinstry from running a 4.47-second 40-yard dash at Alabama's Pro Day in March before he underwent surgery.
McKinstry is expected to be fully healed before training camp kicks off at the end of July, though the injury could affect how high he is taken in Round 1.
It's worth noting that the Eagles, who pick at No. 22 overall, appear to be pretty interested in McKinstry since they have already met with him twice during his pro day and at the combine.
