"...every time McTyer gets an opportunity to play, he feels like he’s bringing his friend Kenny Keys with him. In July, Keys, a former defensive back teammate of McTyer’s at UNLV, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Keys was 25.

...McTyer and Keys, a safety at UNLV from 2012-2106, were close. So when McTyer thought about what initiative he wanted to highlight as part of the NFL’s ongoing “My Cause My Cleats” campaign, he chose suicide prevention.

“I would say not to hold all of it in,” McTyer said. “If you’re feeling a certain way, you can always go and talk to somebody. That’s the thing that people should know. I can go through stuff. I can feel one way in the locker room and seem one way in the locker room but once I leave here, you never know what people are going through. I feel like if people are going through hard times, that they can always seek help.”"
