Jermod McCoy Blazes at Tennessee Pro Day to Reenter Early First-Round Conversation

Elite testing reassured teams about his ACL recovery to elevate his draft outlook.

Overview

  • McCoy, who worked out at Tennessee’s pro day Tuesday, clocked a 4.38–4.40 40-yard dash with a 38-inch vertical and a 10'7" broad jump.
  • The session was his first on-field showcase since a January 2025 ACL tear that sidelined him for the entire 2025 season.
  • For players coming off major injuries, pro day numbers give teams live proof of speed and explosiveness to pair with medical reports, which strengthened his case.
  • Bleacher Report ranks him the No. 2 cornerback in this class, and recent mock drafts place him in the early first round around picks 10–12, including Dallas at No. 12 ahead of the April 23 draft.
  • His 2024 tape still drives evaluations—44 tackles, seven passes defended, four interceptions, and an 89.6 coverage grade—though teams will weigh eight penalties and scheme fit during remaining visits and reviews.
