Love this quote

“My parents always taught me to be a leader,” McCoy said. “But in the midst of working to be a leader, I learned that you have to serve before you can lead. Before I know what type of leader I need to be, I need to learn how to serve my teammates.”

So glad this guy is a Panther!

 

Oh and his NFL peers have named him the 75th best player in the league.

man, reading everything about what he did today, all I kept thinking was, "man, I hope we can keep him fir the rest of his career."  I've always been a big fan of his as a person even though he played for a division rival, he has always embodied class...  and as an aside, just happens to be an outstanding football player too.

I stood there 10 feet from him, watching him carry his teammates helmets and do individual drills by himself—for AT LEAST 20 minutes after practice. 

That made one hell of an impression.

September can't get here soon enough. Very excited to see him play in a Panthers uniform.

Solid showmanship from a vet...

I know he’s a little older now but what are some reasonable stats for McCoy this year 

sacks??

TFL??

Honestly he has more talent around him than he ever has, they could rush 3 and still get pressure. This could be a big year for him and KK

As an OU fan I’ve always loved McCoy and hated when he went to TB. So glad he’s here now and hopefully he can not only continue to produce at a high level but impart some wisdom and work ethic on the younger guys.

'potential'

The 2011 draft for the buck's made their D-line look like it was going to the the best in the league when they picked up Adrian Clayborn and Da'Quan Bowers with their 1st and second pick. They year before they drafted McCoy and Pierce so they went into the season with a heck of potential.. 

 

All that being said, I really like the potential of our pass rush this year. IF Butler plays to his potential guys will be fighting for playing time. Could be very exciting.
