Earlier this month, Gerald McCoy fired back at his critics in an Instagram message.
“All-Pro on and off the field,” he said. “Want to question me? ‘Is he going to be ready? Does he love football?’ What? Y’all crazy. Lost y’all mind. I work. Don’t you ever question me.”
Minds changed: Zero.
Since the defensive tackle and the Bucs “mutually parted ways,” the social media trolls have been out in full force, denying that he has ever been a dominant performer and was invisible late in games.
McCoy himself has perpetuated such misconceptions.
