02Scheme fit
Ideal system

McCoy projects as a fit for a zone-heavy run scheme that prioritizes athletic offensive linemen capable of reaching and cutting off defenders.

Zone scheme CPower/gap centerAgile interior OL
Best role

McCoy can immediately step in as a starting center in a zone blocking scheme, with the ceiling to be a long-term anchor for a productive offensive line.

Wrong fit

McCoy would be a poor fit for a strictly man-blocking, power-run focused scheme that frequently asks its center to act as a primary road grader in double teams.

His athleticism and quickness make him a valuable asset in schemes that ask their offensive linemen to be mobile and active downfield.

04The evaluation

Selected #48 overall in Round 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft by New Orleans Saints out of Texas A&M.
