Kyle McCord Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kyle McCord completed 15-of-35 pass attempts for 136 yards and an interception, and ran for three yards on three attempts in Friday's 19-17 victory over the Jets. McCord was the sole QB on the team to get playing time in the final game of the preseason after trading snaps with Dorian Thompson-Robinson last week. This marks the second week in a row that the fourth-string failed to complete more than 50% of his passes. While Philly managed five scoring drives with McCord under center, this was in large part due to having favorable field position throughout the game. Four of these drives, all of which resulted in field goals, went no more than 26 yards. It seems as though the rookie will struggle to make the final 53-man roster before the regular season begins.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kyle McCord completed 8-of-16 passes for 47 yards and a touchdown, and tacked on two rushing yards on a single attempt in Saturday's 22-13 loss to the Browns. Despite the lackluster stat line, McCord was actually Philly's leading passer of the game after relieving Dorian Thompson-Robinson midway through the second quarter. The Eagles offense struggled overall on the day, mustering just 88 yards on that side of the ball. Their longest drive-of 31 yards-resulted in their lone offensive touchdown, which was a nine-yard pass from McCord. The rookie sixth-round draft pick currently sits in the fourth QB spot on the depth chart, and likely won't get much playing time in the 2025 season.

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord with the 181st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. McCord transferred from Ohio State to Syracuse ahead of the 2024 season, and during his final collegiate campaign, he led all FBS schools in completions, pass attempts, and passing yards. He totaled 34 passing touchdowns but also threw 12 interceptions. McCord's arm strength and upside are evident, but things can go awry when he gets forced outside of the pocket. He'll presumably have a chance to compete with Tanner McKee and Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the Eagles' backup quarterback job behind Jalen Hurts.

Several NFL teams told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz that Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord is one of the more undervalued players in the entire 2025 NFL draft. McCord visited with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday and with the New York Giants on Tuesday, according to sources. The 22-year-old led the nation in passing in 2024 and has acquitted himself well throughout the draft process with good interviews and impressive on-the-board work. McCord has prototypical NFL size, a winning pedigree and capacity to read coverage. He's currently being considered a sleeper in what is a weak draft class at the quarterback position in 2025. Both the Steelers and Giants are two of the most QB-needy teams in terms of long-term investments, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see either of them go after McCord on Day 2 or 3 of this year's draft.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will host a visit for Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord next week, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It comes after the Steelers will meet with University of Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders on Thursday. Pittsburgh has Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson in their QB room at the moment, and veteran Aaron Rodgers is leaning toward signing with the team eventually, but the Steelers continue to do their due diligence at the position leading up to this year's NFL draft. Even if Rodgers signs before the draft, it would be a surprise if Pittsburgh didn't select a signal-caller in the draft. McCord went off in 2024 with 4,779 passing yards and 34 touchdowns, but he's unlikely to come off the board in this year's draft until Day 3.

According to Pete Prisco of CBS Sports, there was "a lot of good buzz" surrounding former Ohio State and Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord at league meetings this week, and NFL teams are higher on him than draft analysts have been. The New Jersey native spent the first three seasons of his collegiate career in Columbus but backed up C.J. Stroud in 2021 and 2022. In 2023, he threw for 3,170 yards, 24 touchdowns, and six interceptions en route to an 11-1 campaign. After transferring to Syracuse, he led the Orange to its first 10-win season since 2018 behind 4,779 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. In a weak quarterback class, there's a chance the 22-year-old could end up as a Day 2 selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Former Syracuse University quarterback Kyle McCord enjoyed a monster final collegiate season after transferring from Ohio State. The 22-year-old tallied 4,779 passing yards, 37 total touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in his lone season with the Orange. Heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, McCord is not viewed as a top-five signal caller in the class, but according to CBS' survey of anonymous NFL scouts, he could be a Day 3 sleeper to monitor. "Poise in the pocket and anticipation," a scout said. "Not flustered by pressure. When he's playing on time, it looks good. Not the best arm or the most mobile but lays it all on the line. Love how he fought through the Ohio State situation and flourished despite a lot of questions about his ability. Real competitor. That chip on his shoulder will be there his whole career." In one of the weaker quarterback classes in recent memory, it wouldn't be a shocker if he sneaks his way into the fourth round of April's draft. If he lands behind a shaky starting quarterback, he could be worth a stash in deeper Superflex dynasty formats.
