McCoy set to work out for NFL scouts, show off arm after injury in championship game

McCoy set to show off arm after injury

AUSTIN, Texas — Short passes, deep passes and everything in between. Colt McCoy hit them all.

The former Texas quarterback showed off his healed right shoulder for NFL scouts for the first time on Wednesday, completing all 46 of his passes in a controlled workout.

McCoy showed some zip on many of the throws, even though a couple came out of his hand a bit wobbly and one deep pass may have taken the receiver out of bounds.

The All-American won an NCAA record 45 games as a starter at Texas, but was knocked out of last season’s BCS championship game against Alabama on the Longhorns’ first drive. A hard tackle pinched a nerve and caused his throwing arm to go numb.

He did not need surgery, just time to rest and rehab.
