McCoy, who retired as an Eagle, had his most productive seasons in the NFL as a member of Philadelphia. In 2013, he had 1607 yards rushing, which led the entire league and set the Eagles single season record for rushing yards.

McCoy also led the NFL in 2011 with 17 rushing touchdowns.

Three times in McCoy’s NFL career he reached a minimum of 1300 yards rushing. In addition to his 1607 yards in 2013, he had 1309 yards in 2011 and 1319 yards in 2014.
