McCoy was tasked with a large amount of responsibility in his rookie year when he was asked to take over for the recently retired Max Unger. McCoy was a second-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft, but has played like a veteran despite being a rookie. His name has even been mentioned in NFL Rookie of the Year award talks. Playing nearly every snap in 2019, McCoy gained valuable experience in helping direct the offense from the line of scrimmage, for one of the most efficient offenses in the NFL. Fans and the team should expect even bigger things from him come his sophomore campaign.
