- The latest stats, facts, news and notes on Colt McCoy of the New York Giants.
- Jan 15, 2021 McCoy (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Thursday's game at Minnesota. With interim coach Bill Callahan running the show, McCoy has been inactive for three contests while Dwayne Haskins.
McCoy will serve as the second-stringer and veteran mentor to Jones, who became the Giants’ starter as a rookie last season while the Giants said goodbye to Eli Manning. With McCoy, the Giants have a quarterback who has shown some capability but won’t be any threat to beat out Jones for the starting job.

With Colt McCoy at quarterback in place of an injured Daniel Jones, the NFC East-leading Giants toppled the mighty Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday, 17-12, to build their first four-game win streak. Daniel 'Colt' McCoy (born September 5, 1986) is an American football quarterback for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft, after playing college football for the University of Texas.
The 33-year-old McCoy started one game for Washington last season and did not play well. He’s been in the league since the Browns drafted him in 2010 and has mostly been a backup, pressed into duty only when a starter gets hurt. The Giants will hope McCoy spends the season on the sideline holding a clipboard, but that he’s ready to play if an injury to Jones makes it necessary.
