7th round/15th pick/222nd overall
Career Stats: 293 tackles, 17.0 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and 3 interceptions at Montana.
Pros: Extremely tough and competitive. Very consistent, hardworking, and durable. Plays hard and competes.
Cons: Has short arms and tight hips. Average athlete with marginal foot speed and can be outflanked to the perimeter. Can be a liability in man coverage and cannot keep pace with running backs. Very quick to read and react…physical take on at the point of attack…knows how to use his hands to control and play off blocks…nice slide and shuffle down the line of scrimmage…stays active until he finds the ball…then fills the hole…will bounce off blocks…plays on his feet…don’t see him get cut or get tangled up in the trash…always moving…can get outside when the ball spills…is a wrap up tackler…looks comfortable in zone drops…able to get in position to play the ball down the field for an interception…able to leap at highest point to snag the ball…Against Idaho State had to adjust out of the middle of the field to try and help in coverage on a receiver that went vertical up the field, was just a step away from making an impressive play on the ball…used as a blitzer…had a sack against Tennessee when the scheme called for him to run a stunt…made a tight path to the quarterback.-Bryan Broaddus of Dallas Cowboys.com
My Opinion
I think McSurdy will be a solid role player/special teams player nothing more nothing less.
