Pete Carroll Liked Colt McCoy's Footwork

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll took in the University of Texas' pro day in Austin, Texas this afternoon, and came away impressed with quarterback Colt McCoy's footwork, even if McCoy's 100% completion percentage was unsurprising.

"This is not real football, this is a workout," Carroll said, according to the Associated Press. "His footwork was really good."

Carroll tweeted about the UT pro day, and the AP adds that Carroll described McCoy's arm strength as "solid".

McCoy did not throw at the Scouting Combine because of surgery to repair a nerve injury to his throwing shoulder, which he injured during the 2009 National Championship Game.

A four-year starter for the Longhorns, McCoy passed for 13,253 yards with 112 touchdowns and 45 interceptions, while also running for 1,589 yards and 20 touchdowns.

McCoy is projected to go in the second-round of this year's draft.
