Summary
Strengths
Confident and patient in man coverage that allows him to stay on top of short and intermediate routes
Wants to play a physical brand of football before and after the catch
Instincts that translate to ball skills...+click and close when throws are in front of him
Chops down over the target on slants and in-breaking routes
Uses the sideline to his advantage to limit space
Weaknesses
Average long speed can put him in recovery mode on vertical targets
When he allows a step over the top he plays the man instead of turning his head to play the ball
Torn ACL cost him all of 2025 and is a big discussion for teams in the draft process
Final Report
McCoy is a physical corner with ideal size and a high compete level. He's calm in coverage and mirrors routes with ease, His click and close on anything underneath is fast and furious as he chops down on throws through wide receivers hands. When in position, he grabs interceptions with tremendous leaping ability and natural hands. He doesn't always play to his fast timed speed, getting challenged by vertical routes and resorting to grabbing with his back turned to the ball. When he does stay in the hip pocket down the field, he does. a really good job using the sideline to tighten the space his assignment has to work with. A torn ACL cost McCoy his entire 2025 season, but an injury discount could be a steal for a team needing a future number one cornerback.
