Kyle
McCord

Kyle possesses keen spatial sense in the pocket, which lets him have a feel for buying time on blitzes. McCord's arm strength stood out to the Eagles, who drafted him in the sixth round in 2025 after seeing how well he hits deep balls. The previous season at Syracuse, he also flashed the ability to read coverage and route options from high to low.

Kyle is at his best when diagnosing pre-snap, hitting the top of his drop and delivering the ball with enough velocity to work the middle of the field and the anticipation to beat coverage before it closes. He's comfortable from the pocket, sliding subtly to buy space and staying on rhythm as he plays into the play unfolds.

McCord believes transferring to Syracuse did a ton for his draft profile. "Threw the ball a ton last year and was a lot on my plate in terms of the offense," he said. "That's exactly what you want as a quarterback. It seems like every game for us would come down to one possession. Had to be great on two-minute drives."

McCord has surgical accuracy. When he is slicing from the pocket, he finds the open man faster than stat, leading to big-time stats, keeping his fans scouls away the defense and revitalizes his offense.

McCord's processing ability made him an attractive pickup. The ball's coming out really quickly with anticipation and accuracy, Eagles GM Howie Roseman said on The Rich Eisen Show. Leading passer in the NCAA. You just go down his games this year, and it's like 340, 380, 390. I mean, it's unbelievable.

Kyle is at his best when diagnosing pre-snap, hitting the top of his drop and delivering the ball with enough velocity to work the middle of the field and the anticipation to beat coverage before it closes. He'd be comfortable operating from the pocket, sliding subtly to buy space and staying on rhythm as the play unfolds.

You could say McCord is at home in the NFL, and you'd be right. He grew up in Mount Laurel, N.J., less than 20 miles from the Eagles' Novacare Complex. He didn't kick back with his feet up, however. "That isn't the focus at all," the 2025 rookie quarterback said. "This is a business, and I'm here to perform."

Like a big-league baseball club, football teams can never have too many arms, which is why Philadelphia grabbed McCord with a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Syracuse University product reinforces the Eagles' QB room with his anticipatory style, accurate throws and poise in the pocket.
