CB Jermod McCoy, Tennessee
“McCoy’s excellent pro day shut down any questions about his health or athleticism… McCoy’s presence would allow Dax Hill to play in the slot, creating a strong secondary able to give pass rushers more time to find quarterbacks in the backfield.”

“Jermod McCoy missed the 2025 season with a torn ACL, but he was phenomenal in 2024, earning first-team All-SEC honors with four interceptions and nine passes defensed. He also crushed his Tennessee Pro Day with a 4.38 40-yard dash, a 38-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-7-inch broad jump.”

“McCoy looks and plays the part of a top cover man, making him a prime target for a defense still looking to forge an identity.”
“McCoy’s evaluation is muddied by the fact that he didn’t play a snap in 2025 while recovering from a torn ACL, but the 2024 tape’s impressive, and the reported 4.38-second 40-yard dash at his pro-day workout doesn’t hurt.”
