McCoy racked up 1,080 yards while reaching the end zone seven times, recording 5.1 yards per attempt. He also hauled in 78 receptions for 592 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
The Harrisburg, Pa. native then made his first Pro Bowl in 2011, accumulating 1,309 yards and a league-leading 17 rushing touchdowns. He was also named a First-Team All-Pro for his efforts.
McCoy spent the first six years of his career with the Eagles, making three trips to Honolulu and earning a rushing title in 2013.
However, after the 2014 campaign, McCoy was traded to the Bills, where he rushed for 895 yards and three scores in 12 games en route to another Pro Bowl appearance.
McCoy proceeded to rush for over 1,000 yards in each of the next two seasons, but this year, age has seemingly caught up with the halfback.
