Good Early Feedback On Gerald McCoy

April 22nd, 2010

It seems from browsing through Twitter that the biggest feedback about Gerald McCoy is that he may be as good of a human being as he is a football player.

All men like Joe watching the NFL Network saw the tears roll down McCoy’s face. Tears of joy.

Those are not crocodile tears, per Sports Illustrated columnist Peter King.

@SI_PeterKing I spent an hour with McCoy at the combine. Wide-eyed, good kid, so honored to be a top NFL draft pick. I don’t think he’ll waste the chance.

The voice of reason in the Tampa Bay sports media, Joe Henderson of the Tampa Tribune believes McCoy is such a prospect, he’s already a starter, and OTAs have yet to be held.

@JoeHendersonTBO Bucs make obvious pick in Gerald McCoy. If he’s not starting from Day 1, it’ll be stunning.

Joe thought it was cool that virtually the first thing out of his mouth was that McCoy said he was thinking of his deceased mom. Joe also thought it was a Kodak moment when he bear hugged NFL warden commissioner Roger Goodell.
