This is why I think he will play. Yes, I know there are handlers/agents telling him to sit. But in the last few weeks, it’s become clear that he’s not listening to them. He’s working to play. AP said as much on a podcast.
100%the most important draft factor for him is to get healthy and prove it by whatever is available at the time. If he passes all tests and can play this season, I believe he will. If he doesn't and can't play, then he is left with the combine and pro days to prove he is healthy, He can only travel the path that is available when he can execute. At the end of the day, I expect him to move on after this season. His health will determine if we see him on the field or not.
You work him out in combine or workouts and see him change direction, etc. Then the team doctors look him over to see if there is swelling vs the other knee. By the draft season, the issues he’s having with swelling will be over. He might not be worth a top 10 pick, but a good team willing to let him ease his way into things will snatch him later in the round. Jameson Williams was drafted pretty high by Detroit.I see that point but as a GM there is no way I am handing a guaranteed signing bonus over to any player I haven’t seen acruslly play and take a football hit post injury. I would go 3rd maybe on an elite player but I am not going 1 or 2.
Alot of us care for his well being and taking care of his Family first. This defense is what it is this year and we likely still have 2 more losses even if he plays. It makes more sense for him to sit out and be a high 1st round early 2nd round draft pick.Seeing yall root for him not to return this year is so bizarre. Obviously he’s not coming back until he is medically cleared. If he doesn’t return once fully medically cleared then **** him
If we lose at Bama, that makes us making the playoff very unlikely. If that happens, he probably shuts it down and doesn't try to come back. If we're in the playoff hunt at the end of the year, I bet he tries to come back and play the last 2-3 games.
This would be a fair take if things still worked the way they used to. That however is no longer the case, Mccoy is making more money this year even if he sits out than many poster's here probably make in there entire life. I think him and his family are well taken care already way beyond the average standard of living in the state of Tennessee. This new concept of we must pay the players but they also can make a business descision for themselves and bail at any moment is ridiculous and players should get pushback on treating it that way.Alot of us care for his well being and taking care of his Family first.

Never fear.
A&M gonna A&M
They don’t call em Texas 8&5 for nothing.
He could do that and if things don't go well. Just playing under 5 games he could come back as a red shirt. If he dropped in draft projections.If we lose at Bama, that makes us making the playoff very unlikely. If that happens, he probably shuts it down and doesn't try to come back.

This.
UGA will be ahead of us. Probably A&M also. And Bama. Then Ole Miss.
Last spot up for grabs is between LSU, UT and Mizzou.
I think we’d need a lot of help. There will likely be more 10-2 teams in the SEC alone this year and we won’t have any great wins.
