Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy went unsold in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft despite being considered the best player available.
McCoy's draft status was impacted by a torn ACL in 2025, which raised concerns about his readiness for the upcoming season.
Despite this setback, McCoy's 2024 season with the Tennessee Volunteers football remains a key reference point for scouts, where he recorded 44 tackles, four interceptions, and nine pass breakups.
As a rising talent in American football, McCoy's future in the NFL will depend on how teams assess his recovery and readiness to play.
