In his career, Mccoy spent time with the Eagles, Bills, Chiefs, and Buccaneers. Mccoy earned his two Super Bowl rings in his last two seasons but didn’t play the role I’m sure he would’ve wanted to during those games. Even though he wasn’t the same ‘Shady” during the Super Bowl runs, that doesn’t mean he did not earn those rings. LeSean Mccoy is one of the greatest running backs of his era. One of the first fantasy football players that everyone was gunning for. Congratulations on an incredible career and an early congratulations on your inevitable Hall of Fame induction.
