LeSean McCoy was once one of the most awe-inspiring, naturally-skilled runners in the NFL. But like all aging running backs facing a natural decline, the veteran McCoy could be playing out his final weeks as a Buffalo Bills running back.
It’s not a stretch to say that 2019’s training camp represents an all-or-nothing scenario for former NFL rushing leader. McCoy needs to be the starting running back due to his age and his contract. It is difficult to see the Bills front office keeping him on as a second-string back should he appear uninspiring during training camp.
Publicly, general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott have stuck to the party line, lavishing supportive praise on McCoy.
