Quick Facts
- Position: QB
- Team: GB (Green Bay Packers)
2026 Outlook
Second-year backup quarterback signed to a reserve/futures contract with Green Bay. Originally drafted by Philadelphia in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, McCord moved to the Packers before the 2026 season. As a collegian at Ohio State and Syracuse, he was one of college football's most productive passers—throwing for 4,779 yards and 34 TDs at Syracuse in 2024 with 66% completion rate. In training camp competition with rookie Kyron Drones for the QB3 spot, McCord's advantage lies in his polished passing mechanics, pre-snap recognition, and fit within Matt LaFleur's precision-oriented offense. His experience operating high-level passing offenses gives him significant polish, though his ceiling as a traditional pocket passer may be more limited than Drones' athletic upside (per McCord V. Drones Could Be Most Intriguing Training Camp Battle - Cheesehead TV).
