Gerald McCoy working out with Las Vegas Raiders

Stalwart defensive tackle Gerald McCoy has enjoyed an incredible career in the NFL amassing six Pro Bowl appearances, though he isn’t likely to be done yet.

ESPN’s NFL insider FIeld Yates has reported McCoy is out in the desert, visiting - and working out - with Jon Gruden’s Las Vegas Raiders.

All the way back in April, McCoy reiterated he has a lot left in the tank and wasn’t anywhere near hanging up the cleats.

“For me, I just love this game so much, it’s still fun to me,” McCoy told Rick Stroud of The Tampa Tay Times.

“I love competing. I just know what my mindset was going into last season and I don’t want an injury or what the NFL deems ‘age’ to be a derailment and finish like that.” he said.

“I know I can still be an asset to a team, whether it’s sparingly, as a starter, in the locker room, whatever it is. In training camp, a mentor to the young kids. I just know I have so much more to give this game, even if for a short period of time.”

McCoy, an Oklahoma native, signed with his childhood — and America’s — team; Dallas Cowboys. A season-ending quad injury ruined his dream of playing on the big star, witht he Cowboys cutting him in August 2020.

Big Gerald faces stiff competition at defensive tackle with the Raiders having six on their roster, including Jonathan Hankins and former #3 pick Solomon Thomas.
