Early last week, accusations surfaced that Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy played a part in a brutal attack on his ex-girlfriend Delicia Cordon.

Updates have been at a minimum since late last week when Cordon’s representatives said more evidence must be brought forward in order to prove McCoy’s involvement. McCoy has proclaimed his innocence since the start and previous police reports surfaced which indicated that McCoy was worried Cordon could wrongly blame him in a case of this type.

During the recent silent spell, Michael McCann, a legal analyst for Sports Illustrated, discussed McCoy on “The Jim Rome Show.”

When asked whether the accusations could be false, McCann said:

“Yeah, I think we have to be open any kind of possibility along those lines,” McCann said. “Let’s play out the facts. Let’s say the assailant requested specific items McCoy had asked from her before. Well, that would, you could argue, that suggestion was (for) him, or, the assailant knew that he asked for those items, maybe because he mentioned it to other people, and at that point, the assailant could help to sort of connect (McCoy) unfair and unlawfully to the crime. So yeah, I think it is possible it was set up.”

McCann went on to discuss with Rome how the NFL could handle the case and how it could unfold. For the full interview involving McCoy, see the video below:
