Overview

McCoy is a good looking tight end that does not quite play up to his numbers. He presents an excellent target and will go across the middle and catch the ball in traffic but lacks the explosive first step out of his breaks to separate from defenders on a consistent basis. He rarely beats the offensive line off the ball and looks almost casual on his release, which could end up being an issue at the next level. McCoy is not an easy take-down once the ball is in his hands, but is also not the most elusive runner in the open field.

Analysis

Strengths

Possesses good size. Has soft hands and good body control. Runs efficient routes and can separate against man coverage. Has enough speed to stretch the field. Solid blocker with good technique. Hard worker that fights for extra yards.

Weaknesses

Lacks initial quickness and releases late, making him slow off the ball. Does not show adequate moves in the open field after the catch. Struggles to push people around in the running game. Production never matched his abilities.

Grade Title Draft (Round) Description
96-100 Future Hall of Famer Top Pick A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played
85-95 Immediate Starter 1st An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter).
70-84 Eventual Starter 2nd-3rd A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position.
50-69 Draftable Player 4th-7th A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential.
20-49 Free Agent UDFA A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body.
