Pittsford, N.Y. -- When LeSean McCoy was accused of being involved in an home invasion robbery earlier this summer by ex-girlfriend Delicia Cordon, a dark cloud formed before training camp for the Buffalo Bills.

Would McCoy show up to camp at all? Would he be forced to sit out and be put on the commissioner's exempt list while the investigation unfolded?

McCoy did show up and said his focus is on football. Camp is now halfway over and McCoy has been a fixture for the Bills at St. John Fisher College. Bills general manager Brandon Beane put the team's full support behind McCoy on the first day of camp.

"We've done our due diligence and it's in (the investigator's) hands. We've talked to the NFL and we've done what we can do from our end," Beane said. "LeSean's here and it's going to be about football."

McCoy has been his usual self in camp, joking with teammates, showing off his dance moves and setting an example on the field with his practice habits.

Despite the Bills' confidence that McCoy will be available to play all season, should the running back be forced to miss any time due to the investigation, the team would lose arguably its most valuable player on and off the field.

Here's what eight of McCoy's teammates -- five running backs and a player from each level of the Bills' defense -- had to say about McCoy the player and the person.

Defensive end Jerry Hughes

"He's electric. The last person I've probably watched growing up similar to his kind of skill set is Barry Sanders. Just the way he's able to create a simple power play and turn it into him cutting it back and 80 yards to the house. I mean, his vision, his feet, his quickness, his football intelligence -- how he's able to understand the defense's angles and use that against us -- I mean, he's a complete back. He can catch the ball and he's not afraid to put his nose in there and pass protect for his quarterback. It's very rare to have guys like that who's willing to be unselfish.

"He's an amazing teammate. The exact same guy you see out on the field joking around and having a good time, he's doing the same thing (off the field). He can be hanging out with his offensive lineman and he'll come around and hang out with the defensive lineman. That's the kind of guy he is and everyone loves him on the team."

Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds

"I've been really impressed with him. I think he's only going to make our defense better, in particular our linebackers because we have to cover him sometimes. We all know what type of back he is, and he just continues to make us better."

Safety Micah Hyde

"He's dynamic. This dude's a beast. He's been in the league for 10-plus years and he's still the LeSean McCoy from five years ago. He can cut on a dime, he's good out of the backfield catching the ball, and he does it all. I'm glad he's on our team because he's explosive on offense.

"He's a good teammate. I love his competition. Whether if we're playing cards or whether we're playing chess, it doesn't matter. He's always gonna want to compete. That's why I love having him on this team because when I'm going against him he gives us the best look in the league. What he's able to do, it's hard to get in position to tackle him. So if you can tackle him you can tackle anybody in this league. The way he cuts it back it forces us to use good angles and get to the near hip. It's good to compete against him."

Running back Chris Ivory

"He's a very outgoing guy and has a lot of character to him. He practices hard and, for the most part, just being able to come out and just work with him is cool.

"I respect and like his game. More than all, you have to put in the work to be in the position that he's in. Even myself, I'm nine years in and he's 10 years in. He came a year early and obviously he's been very productive and healthy the years he's played. I think going forward he's going to continue to try and put together that same game."

Running back Travaris Cadet

"He's a great guy with a great work ethic. I watch him from a father's perspective with his son. I watch him on a day-to-day basis and the way he approaches the game. He laughing and giggling in the locker room and getting along with everybody. From day one I've seen a competitive edge in him, and I see why he's where he's at nowadays.

"We're always brainstorming about different situations because you know and I know football is a bunch of Xs and Os. You got to be able to adjust on the move. Really it's not about how talented you are. You can have a guy that's faster, a guy that's bigger and stronger, but the guy that stays the longest -- the guy that has more consistency and production -- is the guys that's able to adjust. And that's what makes Shady great."

Running back Marcus Murphy

"It's a blessing to get this opportunity to just learn from a guy like that. I watch him everyday from his reads to his moves he make and just tips and pointers I get from him on pre-snap. Just being able to learn things from him just to help my game has been amazing.

"He's a great guy. He always has a smile on his face, he's very friendly and welcoming and a great leader. Try to idolize him and try to do some of the things he's done because he's had a great career."

Running back Taiwan Jones

"He's a great leader, and him being one of the best I feel blessed to be able to share the backfield with him and try to absorb as much as I can from him.

"He's a real smart dude. I think everybody pretty much know ... he's a hell of an athlete and a teammate. I don't know what's said about him being a teammate, but me being on this team, I definitely didn't expect a personality like his. He talks to the rookies, to the new guys and tries to be a great teammate, and that's pretty cool coming from a guy of his stature."

Running back Keith Ford

"The open communication that we have; the personality and leadership that he brings to the room and to this team, it all shows. That's what legends do, that's what great players do. You see that everyday from him. His smile, good attitude and (he's) ready to go. That's the things I've learned from him -- the work ethic, what he do off the field and how he prepares for the game on the field."
