Rutgers cornerback Devin McCourty wraps up his visit with the San Diego Chargers today, according to an NFL source with knowledge of the situation.

Regarded as a potential first-round draft pick, McCourty visited the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday.

McCourty has met previously with New York Jets coach Rex Ryan and Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.

McCourty has also met with the New England Patriots.

And the Baltimore Ravens sent secondary coach Chuck Pagano and director of college scouting Joe Hortiz to McCourty's Pro Day workout.

McCourty has also met with the St. Louis Rams and been scheduled for visits with the Rams and Jets.

McCourty blocked seven kicks at Rutgers and intercepted four passes during his final three seasons.

What separates McCourty from the large pack of talented cornerbacks jockeying for position?

"I think being a complete football player and not just a corner or a nickel," McCourty said during the NFL scouting combine. "Being able to do everything a coach wants on special teams, too."

The 5-foot-10, 193-pounder is known for his cover skills and athleticism.

And he offers another dimension with his work on special teams.

"He might be the best special-teams value in the draft in addition to being a potential starting corner," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said. "He's a gunner and a jammer, and he's a return guy. I think he could fit in quickly in the nickel package. He's a very, very physical defensive back. Most people have him going in the second round, but he could be a legitimate late first-round pick."
