The Las Vegas Raiders strengthened their secondary depth chart with the addition of cornerback Jermod McCoy through the 2026 NFL Draft.
The franchise selected McCoy with the No. 101 overall pick, bringing him in as support behind projected starters Eric Stokes, Darien Porter and Taron Johnson.

McCoy has lofty goals for his debut season at the NFL level.
"As a rookie, I definitely want to be an All-Rookie — make that team. All-Pro, things like that," McCoy said at training camp practice on Monday. "I want to get like three or four picks. I love getting that ball back."
McCoy also said he feels like he's the best cornerback from the 2026 draft class.
The Raiders will begin their preseason schedule with their opener against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday. The team's regular-season schedule will begin with a Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 13.
