Fans of the Buffalo Bills have been loving the effect that LeSean McCoy has had on their run game since they acquired the running back from the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2015 offseason for someone McCoy hadn’t even heard of – Kiko Alonso.

At first, thing’s were a bit strange for the elite back. After the Eagles shipped McCoy out of Philadelphia, the Harrisburg, PA-native was forced to leave the state that he had lived in throughout his entire life. McCoy obviously went through an adjustment period, as he rushed for a disappointing 895 yards and three touchdowns in his debut season with the Bills.

However, McCoy used the 2016 NFL season to prove that he’s still one of the best running backs in the league. The late 20’s are seen as a falling-off point for most NFL running backs, but McCoy has defied age and logic. Although McCoy just turned 29 years-old, he finished sixth in rushing yards last season, sandwiched between two 25-year-olds in Le’Veon Bell (6th) and David Johnson (7th).

“It’s like a lot of the newer guys get a lot of hype,” McCoy said to the media on Wednesday. “You watch the stats of the running backs and I’m up there with the young rookies and young guys so it’s just different…I like it. I really do. It’s interesting to see how the era and time has changed.”

For Buffalo, McCoy is going to be the focal point of the offense this season and the running back’s rushing attempts have already seen an uptick from last year. McCoy finished with 22 carries this past Sunday versus the New York Jets, his second highest total since joining the Bills. Buffalo and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison will continue to give McCoy the ball because of his durability and play-making skills.

McCoy could be a surprise rushing leader after this NFL season if he continues to get the ball and stay healthy. He’s only led the NFL in rushing yards once in his eight-year career.

Expect McCoy to receive a healthy dose of carries this Sunday when the team travels to Charlotte, NC to take on the Carolina Panthers.
