As a college player at the University of Texas, McKay earned consensus All-American honors during the 1969 season, helping Texas win the national championship.[1]
During a 1975 Browns home game against the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, Joe Greene repeatedly kicked McKay in the groin.[2] Greene was soon wrestled to the ground and punched by center Tom DeLeone and tight end Gary Parris, allowing McKay to throw several haymakers on Greene before referees restored order.
