Some believe Shady McCoy, entering his eighth professional season, is destined for a statistical downturn. Not so fast, my friends.
At 28 years old, there’s an increasingly believed thought that Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is bound to reach the proverbial beginning of the end of his career in 2016.
While McCoy wasn’t an All Pro in his debut season in Western New York, I thought he was, quite easily, the most naturally gifted runner the Bills have had since Thurman Thomas.
His film from a season ago features many plays in which he was either tackled before or at the line of scrimmage, yet it’s also rife with classic McCoy runs, special scampers that elicited previously unattainable comparisons of Barry Sanders-esque elusiveness.
