I'm not a coach but I do have experience at the HS level. That was 50 years ago. I had to fill in for the HS coach one game. Anyway, in watching McCoy's highlights it's obvious he is a really physical player. I've seen people talking about his prowess as a possible edge rusher, not that we would use him there, just that he's that type of player. It reminded me of Jennings when he got drafted and the HC of San Francisco said JJ could play different positions and he included safety as one of those positions, presumably because of JJ's physical style of play.
I know everybody is thinking McCoy is going to play on the outside and that's probably right but IIRC JJ operated out of the slot and while this is a (thankfully) totally different offense replacing VJ out of the slot may be more difficult than replacing Payton on the outside. I don't know but I was thinking what if McCoy was operating out of the slot. It's all about matchups, right? What position would be covering him? A linebacker isn't going to be able to cover him, I wouldn't think. jmo.
No matter where he plays he could be a game changer, taking our already quality receiving corps to a new level. jmo.
Here are our receiving stats for our games against Georgia and Alabama from this past year.
