Seattle Seahawks
McCoy was considered one of the top tight end prospects for the 2010 NFL Draft.[4] He ended up being selected in the sixth round, 185th overall, by the Seattle Seahawks.[5] The move reunited him with his college head coach from USC Pete Carroll who in 2010 took the head coaching job with Seattle.
On May 21, 2013, McCoy suffered a torn Achilles' during organized team activities, and underwent surgery three days later. His recovery was expected to take about six to nine months, prompting the Seahawks to waive him injured on May 28. After clearing waivers the following day, McCoy reverted to the reserve/injured list.[6]
On July 29, 2014, McCoy suffered another torn Achilles' during training camp, his second in just over a year. The injury resulted in him missing the entire season and postseason.[7]
On September 5, 2015, as part of the cutdown to a 53-man roster, the Seahawks terminated McCoy's contract.[8]
Washington Redskins
McCoy signed with the Washington Redskins on September 7, 2015.[9] He was waived on November 23, 2015.[10]
Second stint with Seahawks
The Seahawks re-signed him on December 9, 2015.[11]
