Jason McCourty
Jason McCourty (born August 13, 1987) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback for 13 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the sixth round of the 2009 NFL draft. McCourty also played in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns, the New England Patriots (with which he won Super Bowl LIII), and ended his playing career with the Miami Dolphins. He primarily played cornerback throughout his first 11 NFL seasons, but moved to free safety while playing for the Miami Dolphins in 2021. His twin brother, Devin, also played in the NFL. In 2022, McCourty was hired by NFL Network to serve as an analyst on Good Morning Football, and by Westwood One to help call select Thursday Night Football radio broadcasts. In the fall of 2023, he was providing color commentary for college football telecasts on CBS.
Jason McCourty started three years as a cornerback for Rutgers University. He ended his college career with 148 tackles, 2 interceptions, 20 pass breakups and finished second in the Big East in kickoff returns as a senior. His twin brother, Devin, started alongside him as a cornerback at Rutgers. McCourty graduated with a bachelor's degree in information technology.
Coming out of Rutgers, McCourty was not a highly sought after prospect and did not receive an invitation to the NFL Combine. On March 23, 2009, he participated at Rutgers' pro day, along with Kenny Britt, Mike Teel, Tiquan Underwood, Courtney Greene, Kevin Brock, Kevin Malast, and nine other teammates. 41 team representatives and scouts from 27 NFL teams attended Rutgers pro day to scout one of the most talented teams in school history. McCourty ran the fastest time of any player there in the 40-yard dash.
The Tennessee Titans selected McCourty in the sixth round (203rd overall) of the 2009 NFL draft. He was the second player from Rutgers that the Tennessee Titans drafted after first-rounder Kenny Britt who was the 31st pick drafted in the 2009 draft. He was the 31st cornerback drafted and the third of five players from Rutgers selected in 2009.
On June 23, 2009, the Tennessee Titans signed McCourty to a four—year, $1.84 million rookie contract that included a signing bonus of $89,818.
He entered training camp as a backup and competed for a roster spot as the third cornerback on the depth chart against Ryan Mouton, Cary Williams, and DeMarcus Faggins. Head coach Jeff Fisher named McCourty a backup and listed him as the fourth cornerback on the depth chart to start the regular season, behind Cortland Finnegan, Nick Harper, and Cary Williams. Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz elected to have safety Vincent Fuller as the starting nickelback.
On September 10, 2009, McCourty made his professional regular season debut in the Titans' season-opener at the Pittsburgh Steelers and made one tackle for-a-loss as they lost 10–13. In Week 3, he recorded three solo tackles and had three kick returns for 72–yards during a 24–27 loss at the New York Jets. McCourty was only used as a kick returner for this game after Javon Ringer was benched and replaced by Ryan Mouton who had two fumbles. During their loss at the Jets, starting cornerback Cortland Finnegan injured his right hamstring and nickelback Vincent Fuller broke his arm. On September 29, 2009, the Titans signed Cary Williams to the practice squad in order to sign Mark Jones to takeover kick returns. Following the decision to cut Cary Williams from the active roster and injuries to both Cortland Finnegan and Vincent Fuller, the Titans were left with three cornerbacks on their active roster entering Week 4. Head coach Jeff Fisher named McCourty the No. 2 starting cornerback alongside Nick Harper with fellow rookie Ryan Mouton as the starting nickelback.
On October 4, 2009, McCourty earned his first career start and recorded five solo tackles during a 37–17 loss at the Jacksonville Jaguars. In Week 5, he received his second start and set a season-high with eight combined tackles (six solo) during their 31–9 loss against the Indianapolis Colts. During the third quarter, starting cornerback Nick Harper sustained an injury and immediately walked off the field into the locker room with trainers accompanying him. The following day, it was confirmed that Nick Harper had broken his arm and would have to undergo surgery that would sideline him for up to six weeks. On October 18, 2009, McCourty and Ryan Mouton were forced to start at the New England Patriots and Tom Brady had a career-high six touchdown passes during the Titans' 59–0 loss. The Titans signed free agent Roderick Hood to takeover as a starting cornerback in Week 8 alongside a returning Cortland Finnegan. He was inactive as the Titans defeated the Buffalo Bills 41–17 in Week 10. He finished his rookie season with only 30 combined tackles (25 solo) in 15 games and three starts.
