Overview
- Jermod McCoy went unselected in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft, where LSU’s Mansoor Delane and San Diego State’s Chris Johnson were the only cornerbacks taken, leaving him on the board for Day 2.
- Teams flagged knee risk, with NFL Media reporting the ACL is stable but a cartilage repair bone plug in his knee might need to be replaced.
- McCoy has not played since December 2024 after tearing an ACL in January 2025 and missing the entire 2025 season.
- A sub-4.4 40-yard dash plus a 38-inch vertical and a 10-foot-7 broad jump at his pro day did not erase durability questions after he skipped the NFL Scouting Combine.
- Potential Day 2 fits include the Raiders, Giants, Bengals, Saints, Jets, Ravens, and Vikings if their medical staffs are comfortable with his knee.
