Zyon

McCollum

Kancey was inactive for Week 1, sidelined by his third recorded calf injury since 2023. S Antoine Winfield Jr. (undisclosed) and DB Josh Hayes (ankle) were also sidelined on Wednesday after CB Bryce Hall was sent to injured reserve on Tuesday. EDGE Logan Hall (foot) and CB Zyon McCollum (concussion) both practiced in a limited capacity, however.

FCS players tend not to get an incredible amount of buzz due to the level of competition and just an overall lesser attention given to them, but McCollum (6'2"/199) deserves quite a bit of noise due to his athletic testing alone. Scoring a perfect 10 RAS is wild, and he blends great size for the position with blazing speed (4.33 40), elite agility and fantastic explosion. He didn’t get graded below a 9 in any test except for the bench press. McCollum would deserve to get drafted based on his athletic profile alone, but he was also productive in college, especially in the turnover department where he forced 13 interceptions and six fumbles. His length is the only thing not standout about his physical traits, which can be tough for a corner who need to press, but McCollum has some real potential.

Every year, we have a couple of FCS players that come into the combine virtually unknown and come out with a buzz. Sam Houston State’s McCollum (6'2"/199) put up some impressive numbers that measured up to his FBS counterparts. He had the third-best 40-time at 4.36 seconds, along with a 39.5' vertical and 11" board jump. He certainly has some impressive accolades coming into the draft -- a team captain who finished with a career 13 interceptions and six force fumbles, he uses his size advantage to shade in coverage and the footwork looks fluid as he moves to the ball. McCollum is someone you need to look out for in April.
