ESPN ranked the funniest players in college football and UCLA defensive end Takkarist McKinley checked in at No. 22. The senior notably tried to bribe former teammate Kenny Clark with sandwiches to stay at UCLA last year to no avail. McKinley is also the favorite social media follow (on Twitter at @D1BoundTakk) of offensive lineman Conor McDermott.
