Where are you going to go, Erik McCoy?

This is the big topic in the days and hours leading up to when the New Orleans Saints made their aggressive push to the No. 48 overall pick to select McCoy in the 2019 NFL Draft. The multiple answers to this question may provide a glimpse into why New Orleans felt so strongly that McCoy was their guy.

Where would he go, minor: McCoy needed to find a place to host his NFL draft watch party. His mother presented him with Buffalo Wild Wings or a ballroom at the local Marriott as potential options, but McCoy’s idea for a venue was more true to who he is.

Where would he go, major: What team would he start his NFL career with? This question loomed, the one with an answer he could neither control nor discern, but that was the whole point of this gathering anyway, wasn’t it? All those loved ones wanted to converge around him to be there when he found out.

Could he land with the Dallas Cowboys, the team his father grew up following religiously? Could he go all the way out to the West Coast to Seattle, wearing the Seahawks logo mom and dad alarmingly eyed on the TV screen before his phone lit up?

Could his mom’s prayers be answered?
