The Seattle Seahawks have announced the signing of sixth-round draft pick Anthony McCoy, a tight end out of USC.
McCoy is the first draft pick the Seahawks have signed; they have eight more picks still unsigned.
Before the draft, McCoy was in the news for a positive marijuana test. After the draft, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll called McCoy the team’s best value pick.
McCoy is a 6-foot-4, 259-pounder who has the speed to stretch the field. Although some have questioned McCoy’s work ethic, his college coach -- Carroll -- obviously thinks highly of him.
