Who Dat '08 Draft Player News: Cleve McCoy
News: The New Orleans Saints were on hand to watch the workouts of South Carolina State product's Cleve McCoy (QB) and James Lee (OL) on Tuesday, according to timesanddemocrat.com. Apparently a scout was there to evaluate Lee, the 6-6, 305-pound MEAC Offensive Linemen of the Year, when he stumbled on McCoy. "I think I did pretty good today," McCoy said. "I worked out as a reciever for the (New Orleans) Saints guy. He said that he liked me, and that I am highly on their chart as a receiver with the times I had." McCoy measured in at 6-1, 225 pounds, ran a 4.55 in the forty and displayed a 35-inch vertical jump.
Who Dat Say: According to the report, only 3 teams -- Kansas City, Chicago, and New Orleans -- were present for the workout. Both players were apparently a big reason why South Carolina State led the league in rushing and total offense for the second consecutive season. The Saints have already been succesful in transitioning Marques Colston and Jahari Evans from small-school products to NFL starters, so it wouldn't surprise us to hear them call one of these two names on the draft's second-day or bring one in for a tryout should he go undrafted.
