a TCU cornerback whose value came from explosive return ability
Greg McCoy’s TCU profile stands out less for pure coverage numbers and more for game-changing explosiveness on special teams: in 2011 he set a TCU single-game record with 229 kickoff return yards and averaged 30.6 yards per return, including 35.3 yards per return at Wyoming. He was also a versatile defensive back who ultimately earned an NFL shot, being drafted by the Bears in 2012. If you want a player who can swing field position and bring speed, urgency, and special-teams impact, McCoy was the kind of fit teams value.
