A young Colt McCoy was a pitchman for his uncle’s drug store (Video)
In the wake of Colt McCoy leading the Washington Redskins to an improbable overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, we feel there has never been a more appropriate time to bring back his fantastic old drug store commercial.
As our friends at the Wizard of Odds noted back in the day, McCoy’s uncle owns James McCoy’s Drug Store in Texas. When Colt was playing at Jim Ned High School in Tuscola, Texas in 2003, he became the pitchman for his uncle’s store.
As we all know, McCoy went on to be a star with the Texas Longhorns. No, there’s no recruiting violation associated with filming a commercial for a family member’s business.

McCoy’s moment of glory in the NFL will likely be short-lived, but his James McCoy’s Drug Store commercial should live on forever.
