Former Bucs DT [autotag]Gerald McCoy[/autotag] officially announced his retirement on Friday, but could Bucs fans be seeing more of him as he enters his post-football life?
The NFL’s Ian Rapoport seems to think so. Rapoport discussed McCoy’s retirement on NFL Network, and he seemed to insinuate that McCoy would have a prime opportunity to enter broadcast media as his playing career has come to an end. Here is what he said about the possibility:
“I got a funny feeling we may not have seen the last of Gerald McCoy. He does have an interest in broadcasting — as we’ve seen on [NFL Network], he is very good at it. Though it’s a goodbye officially to Gerald McCoy on the field, I think off the field, it’s probably more of a ‘hello’ than anything else.”
McCoy has been on CBS and FOX as a guest, so he does have experience in broadcasting. He’s also famously up-to-date on pop culture and has even appeared in television shows such as The League and Family Feud, so he certainly isn’t shy of the camera. It will be interesting to see where McCoy’s post-football career takes him next.
