Gerald McCoy is a long time NFL veteran who has logged almost 6,400 snaps throughout his storied NFL career. A four-time All-Pro and six-time Pro-Bowler, McCoy has racked up 59.5 sacks, 89 TFLs, 24 passes defensed, and six forced fumbles during his 10 years as a professional defensive tackle.

There is of course a question of age and availability. McCoy missed all of 2020 dealing with a quadriceps injury, and it is valid to wonder just how much the former All-Pro has left in the tank.
