Raiders CB Jermod McCoy Training Camp Secrets & Comeback Strategy
Aug 10, 2026
How has those camp battles been between you and Malik Benson so far?
You said what?
Camp battles.
Camp battles, it's always been good.
Me and Malik, man, every time I'm up against Malik, I love it.
Cuz I mean, they love going to Malik.
So I know against Malik, I'll probably come in there.
So I'm gonna try to make a play or whatever.
Did you ever have any doubt personally?
No, I don't really doubt myself.
If I put my mind to something, I feel I can always do it.
I know we asked you around the draft, but what was it like hearing so
many people have so many opinions, and you're kinda sitting there like,
everybody has opinions, nobody can help you.
Yeah, I mean, life, it's just part of it.
Just keeping a level head with it, just kinda sometimes you gotta tune this stuff
out.
When you haven't played for a certain period of time, what do you acclimate to?
Yeah, I'd say just getting myself back in football shape, for sure.
You know, first day out there, I was a little tired, but
I could see myself progressing more and more daily with my stamina and
all that, and just getting back into football shape.
And just, I'll say the pre-snap stuff, and then technical things.
So just getting back into all that.
Is there a certain point, like a play, or just a certain point within training camp
that you can recall where you were just like, okay, I can feel it,
like I'm back now?
Yeah, I'll probably say it was my second or third day.
I made a few plays, and I mean, I felt real good, and I was like, okay,
here's the ball again.
Did you feel rusty at all?
Like the first little days, it's always gonna be a little rusty,
just knocking it off.
