Gerald McCoy DT Ourlads All-Rookie Team 2010

Gerald McCoy was drafted by the Tampa Bay Bucs with
the 3rd pick of the 1st round. What Ourlads Guide to
the NFL Draft said about McCoy:

McCoy, Gerald Oklahoma 6041 295 5.11
Junior entry. Three-year starter. Cat-like quickness. When cut
he bounces up and demonstrates outstanding athletic ability to
get down the line and into pursuit. Good agility and body control.
Uses a spin move to get off block and out of trouble. Inconsistent
to fight pressure. Must escape on first move or can get walled
off. Is generally “all in” on his first explosive gap penetration.
He relies on his quickness to push the play deep. He plays within
the scheme of the defense. Many times he takes himself out of
a play because he can be single blocked. Good ability to disengage
blocker and find the ball. Long arms and big hands. Question
instincts at times, especially when fooled on screen passes when
he takes the bait. His strength is more of a one gap penetrator
as an under tackle in a four man front. Plays with good hip flex
and knee bend, but gets rolled out if he gets too high. Plays
quick, but not always strong. McCoy’s productivity over his
career is not as good as several linemen that will be drafted after
him. Edge speed:left 2.09, right 2.30. OSR:10/20. First round.
(A-33 3/4, H-10 1/4, BP-23, 10-1.75).
