NFL Draft: Jermod McCoy's Stock Hangs in Balance

This six with two defender from Oregon State transferred to Tennessee and balled out as a sophomore, earning all America honors with 13 passes. Defended and four picks before tearing his ACL.

His last game action came way back on December 21, 2024, leaving scouts scratching their heads about his recovery timeline. Folks in the know are split some worry. The knees and rougher shape than advertised, or that he could have pushed harder to return sooner. Still, his tape from that breakout season screams top talent, with length, sharp ball skills, quick reactions and smooth speed that makes him a nightmare in coverage. Traits like his fluidity and change of direction pop off the screen, painting him as an NFL starter type pre-injury.
