It's been years, and we still think about this. Every time we watched LeSean McCoy carry the football, we wondered how someone so gifted could carry and swing the ball around so recklessly. Seriously... Who in the hell coached this guy?
Each of his 1,461 regular-season carries in a Philadelphia Eagles jersey and the 38 totes he stacked during three career postseason games in the midnight green made us wonder how he only fumbled 15 times.
Hmmm... Maybe it was because it was so hard to get a finger on him.
LeSean McCoy officially enters the Eagles Hall of Fame!
1,499 carries... Wow! And, that doesn't even include what he did during six years with other franchises. We've seen every one of his games in a Philadelphia Eagles jersey, and we're thankful for that!
It was announced in August that Shady would officialy be inducted into the Philadelphia Eagles' franchise Hall of Fame. The day has come. You can bet your arse we've been saving the highlights to the hard drive.
Here are a few clips and flicks.

Several of his fellow Eagles Hall of Famers were in attendance:
- Merrill Reese
- Mike Quick
- Clyde Simmons
- Harold Carmichael
- Wilbert Montgomery
- Hugh Douglas
- Brian Westbrook
- Ron Jaworski
- Trent Cole
- Bill Bradley
- Tra Thomas
- Brian Dawkins
- Dick Vermeil
- Jeremiah Trotter
Let's talk about his resume. His 6,792 rushing yards are the most in that category in franchise history. He was the NFL rushing touchdowns leader in 2011. He was the 2013 NFL rushing yards leader. He's a member of the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team.
He's a two-time Super Bowl champion (LIV, LV) after spending time with the Kansas City Chiefs (2019) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020). He's a two-time First-team All-Pro (2011, 2013) and a six-time Pro Bowler (2011, 2013–2017).
He's on everyone's list of the top Philadelphia Eagles running backs in this storied franchise's history (including ours). Some place him stop their list. He's now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame, and maybe we're biased, but we believe he deserves consideration for a similar honor that would immortalize him in Canton, Ohio.
