McCoy's Pro Day Performance Boosts Cowboys' Draft Stock

0:00On April 5th, Tennessee cornerback Jermad McCoy turned heads at his pro day this week, posting a 4.3840-yard dash, 38-inch vertical, and 10-foot-7 broadjump. The 20-year-old from Tyler Texas looks like a lock for the first round now, especially with the Dallas Cowboys picking 12th overall. He hasn't seen game actions since December 12th, 2022, when Tennessee lost in the college playoffs. Then came an ACL tear in January 2025, so he skipped the rest of his senior year to focus on rehab and the draft. That smart move paid off big time. Fans were skeptical about drafting him without recent tape, calling it a risky reach for Dallas. But those doubts are fading fast after seeing his athleticism hold up post-injury. Now his rising stock gives the Cowboys way more breathing room at 12. It slashes the odds of a barren board if top defenders fly off early, adding him to a solid group of options like edge rushers and safeties that could.

1:01Still be there. Picture this, McCoy climbs even higher, maybe to number 8, and pushes an elite talent like a top safety right into Dallas's lap, just like Micah. Parsons slid to them back in 2021. The draft board just got a whole lot friendlier for the star.
