 McCoy met with the media as a member of the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday.

Gerald McCoy is officially a member of the Carolina Panthers. Having his first press conference as a Panther on Tuesday, it was evident that McCoy knows what his role is. He needs to be a pass rusher and a veteran who will help take the team to the next level. A member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since he began his career, McCoy will now be in a different locker room, but in the same division. Although this is going to be different from what he is used to, he should be able to succeed.

The defensive unit in particular is very hungry. Led by Eric Washington, they have a slew of players both veterans returning and newcomers, that should be able to make this defense one of the toughest in football. McCoy will undoubtedly add to that. In his press conference Tuesday, he sounded like he was ready to win and create problems for offensive lines.

I take a look at my three biggest takeaways from Gerald McCoy’s press conference on Tuesday.
