The Tennessee Volunteers staged their pro day on Tuesday, with numerous players choosing to participate in order to raise their draft stock. One of the contestants was the player who heard his name read first among the other Tennessee players. Jermod McCoy is the player in issue, and he is coming off an ACL injury that he sustained more than a year ago.
Since being freed from his ailment, this was the first time the promising player had performed with scouts in attendance. The outstanding prospect missed the whole season, Senior Bowl, and combine, but was permitted to participate in both events after the season. He chose to avoid those in order to conserve his testing for Knoxville, which was a wise choice since he wowed the crowd at the function.
More details on Jermod McCoy’s Pro Day performance.
This year’s most anticipated Pro Day recently occurred, and Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy aced the exam. The findings, I’m informed, were as follows: 4. 38 40 (range from others was 4. 37-4. 41) with 38 VJ and 10’7 BJ. At the combine, 40 would have been T-2 and BJ T-10 among cornerbacks. The VJ is powerful, yet it would have been ranked 13th. McCoy was supposedly cleared to play during the season but declined to do so, and he has opted not to attend the Senior Bowl and Combine. So witnessing him compete and engage today was crucial for clubs contemplating drafting a cornerback in Round One. Todd McSay told me that he is CB2 on my board, behind only Monsoor Delane (LSU).
McCoy was expected to drop down draft boards if he did not perform well on Tuesday, but his results have many people thinking that he may be one of the first 15 picks in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He is one of two cornerbacks that will depart Tennessee with the possibility of being picked in the first round. The other one is Colton Hood, who competed at the event.
McCoy might be one of the best players in the draft if he can keep his pace on the field, since he was undoubtedly one of the top coverage defensive backs in the nation. Every Tennessee player, like him, will now focus on the draft, as the public work is completed until then. This will be one of the more anticipated drafts for Tennessee supporters, since they will be properly represented.
