Buffalo Bills’ running back LeSean McCoy is entering his 10th season in the NFL, and already has achieved a lot during his time in the league. In 2017 McCoy became the 30th player in NFL history to get to the 10,000 rushing yards. He also has six Pro-Bowl appearances to his name and two First-team All-Pro honors. Despite all of this, the 29-year-old feels like he has a lot “more to prove.”
“I have more to prove,” – McCoy told reporters during his annual training camp. “It’s just like, ‘How long can he keep doing it? How long can he keep being productive?’ And that drives me. It really does.“
LeSean McCoy had 1,138 rushing yards and six touchdowns, alongside 448 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns in 2017, and was an instrumental player in leading the Bills to their first playoff appearances in 18 years. With Bills making improvements in the offseason and drafting quarterback Josh Allen with the seventh overall pick in 2018 NFL Draft, McCoy thinks the team can push for even bigger things.
“We have a great thing going on there,” – he added. “I’m trusting the process with [head coach] Sean McDermott and [general manager] Brandon Beane. We got a nice team, so I’m happy to be a part of that and I think it’s a big future for us.“
LeSean McCoy entered the league in 2009 when the Philadelphia Eagles took him in the second round of that year’s draft. He was to a great start of his NFL career, leading the league in rushing touchdowns in 2011 and rushing yards in 2013. Still, the Eagles decided to trade him to the Bills in exchange for linebacker Kiko Alonso.
