Episode Details

Jermod McCoy, a top-tier cornerback who tore his ACL in early 2025, was drafted by the Raiders in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft — a pick that raised eyebrows given his injury history. Despite missing the entire 2025 season, McCoy insists he’s fully healthy and ready to play, even agreeing to follow the Raiders’ medical guidance for long-term safety.

Yet, he remains unsigned, adding intrigue to an already unusual situation. With his talent undeniable and his knee concerns now seemingly resolved, the question remains: can McCoy stay healthy and prove his worth on the field this season?
