McCoy shows off arm for scouts

? Short passes, deep passes and everything in between. Colt McCoy hit them all. The former Texas quarterback showed off his healed right shoulder for NFL scouts for the first time on Wednesday, completing all 46 of his passes in a controlled workout.

McCoy showed some zip on many of the throws, even though a couple came out of his hand a bit wobbly, and one deep pass may have taken the receiver out of bounds.

The All-American won an NCAA record 45 games as a starter at Texas, but was knocked out of last season’s BCS championship game against Alabama on the Longhorns’ first drive.

Lubbock, Texas — One of the two senior quarterbacks vying for the starting spot in Tommy Tuberville’s first season at Texas Tech will miss at least eight weeks after surgery on his left foot.

Tuberville says Steven Sheffield will be out 8-10 weeks after surgery Wednesday to repair the same bone injured in October at Nebraska. He re-injured it at the end of practice Monday. Sheffield and Taylor Potts, who started for Tech at the beginning of last season, are competing to be the Red Raiders’ starter next season. Sheffield threw for 1,219 yards and 14 touchdowns in six games in last season.
