From the University of Pittsburgh, McCoy was phenomenal with the Panthers, winning the Big East Offensive Player of the Year (2008) and parlaying that into a Second Round Pick to the same-state Philadelphia Eagles in 2009.
McCoy played his first six years with the Eagles, four of which would see the Running Back exceed the four-digit mark in Rushing Yards. The “scat back” led the NFL in Rushing Touchdowns (17), Touchdowns (20) in 2011, and in Rushing Yards in 2013 (1,607) and in both of those seasons, McCoy was a First Team All-Pro. McCoy was a phenomenal player for the Eagles, but he was surprisingly traded to the Buffalo Bills in 2015.
McCoy, who went to three Pro Bowls with Philadelphia, did the same with Buffalo. As he got older, his skills eroded, but he provided veteran presence on back-to-back Super Bowls, first with Kansas City (2019) and Tampa Bay (2020).
McCoy was named to the 2010s All-Decade Team and retired with an even 15,000 Yards from Scrimmage and 89 Touchdowns.
