There is something called being humble. Then there is Gerald McCoy “humble.”

Some might even say a little crazy.

“I always just try to stay in that rookie mindset,” McCoy said. “Always willing to learn more, knowing that I can learn more and just doing my best to learn more. I’m not Gerald McCoy, I’m number 93 on a 91-man roster trying to make the team. And then once I make the team, then I’ll be Gerald McCoy, then I’ll be a Buccaneer, but until then I’m just another guy trying to make the team.”

Uh, yeah. That’s the equivalent of Jimi Hendrix saying, I can strum a guitar, or Claude Monet saying, I dabble in paints.

Whether literally or figuratively, McCoy’s talk of making the team is just that – talk. Short of Jason Licht and Dirk Koetter being kidnapped by aliens and replaced with Sean Payton designed and programmed robots, McCoy is making the Bucs in 2018. But if that is what McCoy tells himself daily to motivate him to work hard each day, so be it.

But note to McCoy – you are going to make the team. I think you got this pretty easy.
