NFL Draft Shockwave: Tennessee Star Poised to Leapfrog Teammate in Surprise Upset
Graziano compared McCoy’s situation to Arizona Cardinals cornerback Will Johnson, who was a projected first-rounder in 2025 before falling to Day Two due to injury concerns during his pre-draft workout. Scouts appear to believe that McCoy is in a worse situation than Johnson.
McCoy missed the entire 2025 season after suffering a torn ACL during offseason workouts. He was widely viewed as the best cornerback in the country before the injury after a second-team All-American season in 2024.
McCoy’s knee was always a concern, but many initially believed he would be ready for 2026 NFL training camps. However, teams now believe that he could require another surgery, which would likely force him to miss most of his rookie season and attempt to return from back-to-back significant procedures in 2027.
