| Greg McCoy Scouting Report |
| Greg McCoy - Texas Christian (HT: 5-10 - WT: 181) |
Positives -- Decent size for a nickle cornerback at the next level... Plays better in off coverage, which allows him to read and react... When he sees the play develop, he has a better ability to read routes and make plays... Takes good angles to the football when reading the football... Is quick in short areas,
and is able to make plays on the ball... Looks better on the inside of the formation, he has the ability to play man coverage in close quarters... His real value lies in his kick return abilities, ranked sixth in the nation with a 30.6 average per return in 2011, including two touchdowns; was named the Mountain West Conference's special teams player of the year and selected to the All-American team as a return specialist by CBS and Yahoo!... Recorded a second quarter interception in the Poinsettia Bowl and was named defensive player of the game as TCU came back to beat Louisiana Tech.
Negatives -- His size will come into question, especially when it comes to bigger wide receivers... In coverage, has a hard time flipping his hips and getting vertical with the man he is covering... Has good speed, but doesn't have that extra gear to get on top of receivers... Against faster competition, he will have to improve his technique or he will be beaten over the top with ease... Allows receivers get inside and has trouble keeping up with them after the snap of the ball... Has a hard time setting the edge in run support, and can be moved off his spot at will... His tackling is below average due to lack of strength... Was solid as the collegiate level, but bigger and faster players might prove too much in the NFL... Has to prove that he can contribute in the secondary because he won't last long at the next level as just a return specialist.
