Six-time Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania retired at the age of 33 according to Nick Shook of nfl.com. McCoy played 12 seasons in the National Football League with the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The fact that McCoy retired should come as no surprise. That is because he only played 10 games last season and had 10 rushes for 31 yards, and 15 catches for 101 yards.

Despite not playing in the last two Super Bowls, McCoy retires as a two-time Super Bowl champion. He was on the roster for the Chiefs when they won in 2020, and likewise with the Buccaneers when they won the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2021.

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. Wilbert Montgomery of Greenville, Mississippi had 1512 yards for the Eagles in 1979. In 2013, McCoy also led the NFL with 100.4 yards per game, and 2146 yards from scrimmage. 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.

McCoy was selected to the Pro Bowl with the Eagles in 2011, 2013, and 2014, along with the Bills in 2015, 2016, and 2017. He had 2457 rushes for 11102 yards for 73 rushing touchdowns, along with 518 catches for 3898 yards and 16 receiving touchdowns in his career. A product of the University of Pittsburgh, McCoy was selected in the second round, 53rd overall, in the 2009 NFL Draft by the Eagles.
