At first glance, McCoy seems to have a lot in common with incumbent Maurice Jones-Drew. Both are smaller backs that are built. McCoy only has two years as a starter, so he has relatively low miles on him. McCoy also comes out of a Pro style offense, which is beginning to become a huge plus in the Spread Option era of College football.
According to the Experts
Positives
FF Toolbox: He has decent instincts and is certainly sporting a nice mixture of size and speed. It also takes a lot to knock him down. On many occasions, his superb balance and control have kept McCoy upright when most backs would be lying on the ground.
Mocking The Draft: An exceptional cut-back runner. Good hands in the receiving game. Also knows how to run good routes and will be an asset on screen passes.
NFL Draft Dog: At 210 lbs he is still a good inside runner who can squeeze and burst through a hole. He has strong, thick legs with a low center of gravity that allows him to bounce off would be tacklers.
Negatives
FF Toolbox: Did not run through the tackles well, or even often, in college
Mocking The Draft: Must hold the ball better to avoid fumbles, must be a better pass blocker
NFL Draft Dog: Top end speed, upper body strength, pass protection
Why Should He Be a Jaguar
You guys want a guy who can be the BAP in Round 2? You're looking at him. McCoy can certainly help out the Jaguars backfield and add another threat on offense. With MJD certainly becoming "The Man" in Jacksonville, we need someone now who can be a change of pace back as well as helping out in the return game.
