University of Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy May Need Additional Surgery

University of Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy, who missed last season due to a torn ACL, may face significant time away from the NFL in 2026 due to concerns about needing another surgery on his knee. Reports indicate that a bone plug used to repair a cartilage defect could require further attention. Despite being a top cornerback prospect and likely first-round pick, his draft position may drop, similar to Will Johnson’s experience last year. McCoy showcased his athleticism with a 4.37 40-yard dash, a 38-inch vertical, and a 10-foot, 7-inch broad jump at Tennessee’s Pro Day.
