The Bills' top running back turns 28 next month. Is he in for a career decline?
A lot has been made about the wisdom of giving a five-year contract extension to a running back with as much playing time as LeSean McCoy had when the Buffalo Bills re-upped him shortly after they traded for him last year.
McCoy turns 28 next month, which is the near the point when the wheels start to fall off the average running back. In addition, he’s carried a larger workload than any back since his rookie campaign in 2009.
