McCoy's NFL Future Bright Despite ACL Tear

0:00On March 31st, former Tennessee cornerbacker Mod McCoy tore his ACL last January and will miss the entire 2025 college season, but his. NFL future stays lit. ESPN draft guru Matt Miller slots him 12 overall and his latest mock to the Dallas Cowboys, that $13 billion powerhouse looking for. Corner help. McCoy balled out in 2024 with 44 tackles, four picks, and a sky high 97.2 coverage grade from PFF. He locked down receivers in man coverage, allowing just 10 catches for 168 yards, earning second team All-American and first team. All SEC nods. The Cowboys cut TRIVON digs after injuries, and a team travel issue, leaving Doron bland nursing a foot problem and rookie Shavon Rebel Jr. sideline. They crave a corner who rattles quarterbacks right away, and McCoy fits opponents posted a measly 48.3 pass rating against him.

1:00With zero touchdown passes over 174 key snaps. Still, that ACL clouds things as Dallas wants instant producers, not red shirt wrists with a top pick. LSU's Mansour Delane just torched a 40 yard dash to climb boards, and local reporter Joseph Hoyt gets the hesitation, saying they need guys to ball from day one. If McCoy shines at pro day and wins over the Cowboys staff, he could lock in that star spot opposite bland, come 2026, turning injury, set back into draft jackpot.
