Gerald McCoy sends best wishes to ‘future stars of the NFL’ ahead of the draft

Former Bucs DT Gerald McCoy took to Instagram today to post a video and send best wishes to players ahead of Thursday’s NFL draft.

Gerald McCoy is now a member of the Dallas Cowboys, after spending last season in Carolina with the Panthers. Before that, however, he spent the first nine years of his career as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Bucs selected McCoy out of Oklahoma with the third pick in the 2010 NFL draft, and he was a staple for the franchise for nearly a decade. While McCoy won’t be a part of the revamped Tom Brady-led Bucs, he’ll always be thought of first and foremost as a Buccaneer.

McCoy took to Instagram today to post a video of his draft moment back in 2010, while sending blessings to all the future stars of the NFL ahead of Thursday’s virtual draft.

Fun fact: The player selected ahead of McCoy in 2010 was current Bucs DT Ndamukong Suh, who went second overall to the Detroit Lions.
