McCoy was originally drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft. After three seasons in Cleveland, the former Longhorn had a brief stint in San Francisco before landing with the Washington Redskins.
After five seasons with the Redskins, McCoy is now expected to play behind quarterback Daniel Jones in New York. Although he’s had an injury prone career, he’s the type of high-character leader and veteran that you’d want on your roster.
McCoy is established and comfortable in the backup quarterback role and is widely respected both on and off the field.
The Giants couldn’t have landed a better mentor to groom their franchise quarterback.
