We have another significant retirement in the National Football League, as Defensive Tackle, Gerald McCoy has retired.
The Third Overall Pick from Oklahoma in the 2010 Draft, McCoy played his first nine years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning the starting LDT job as a rookie. From 2012 to 2017, McCoy was chosen for the Pro Bowl, with three of those years earning All-Pro Selections (one First Team & two Second Team).
After suffering severe injuries in 2020, McCoy, who played for Carolina in 2019, had one appearance for Las Vegas in 2021. He retires with 59.5 Sacks and 334 Tackles.
As he did not play in 2022, McCoy is eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2027. While he is unlikely to be chosen, he is good enough to make out Notinhalloffame.com list of those to consider for Canton once eligible. On our pre-2022 Season list of active players based on their Hall of Fame credentials; he was ranked at #54.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Gerald McCoy the best in his post-playing career.
