The 49ers have announced that they reached a deal with the Cleveland Browns to acquire quarterback Colt McCoy and an undisclosed 2013 draft choice in return for 2 undisclosed 2013 draft picks. McCoy passed a physical in the bay earlier today to finalize the deal.
McCoy is 6' 1", 220 pounds and was originally selected by the Cleveland Browns in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft. In three seasons, he has played in 24 games (21 starts), completing 409 of 702 pass attempts for 4,388 yards, 21 touchdowns.
He played at the University of Texas, where he finished his career completing 1,157 of 1,645 passes for 13,253 yards and 112 touchdowns. He added 447 rushing attempts for 1,571 yards and 20 scores, on the way to finishing his collegiate career with 47 school records. At the time McCoy left Texas, he had the most wins of any starting quarterback in NCAA history (45-8).
I am relieved that the 9ers now have a backup just incase anything should happen to Kaep. I don't think that Cleveland was a good enough team to showcase McCoy and am confident that he will be a solid backup for the 9ers.
Scott Kegley sat down with Colt McCoy to talk about his feelings on being a 49er. You can check that out right here.
Welcome to the team Colt, and as always...
