NFL.com analyst says Lesean McCoy will lead league in rushing in 2017

Lesean McCoy had a strong season last year with 1,267 rushing yards. Despite that total, though, he still finished outside of the top five in terms of yardage. But one NFL.com analyst says McCoy will lead the league in rushing in 2017.

For whatever reason, not too many folks realize how effective McCoy was last season. Despite missing almost two full games, the uber confident tailback backed up his football bravado with 1,267 yards, 14 total touchdowns and a sterling 5.41 yards per carry, which was third in the NFL. He also caught 50 balls.
