So, it is no surprise that McCoy, in his first year of eligibility, will be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame on Sunday, November 3, 2024, when the Eagles host the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lincoln Financial Field. The official announcement was made during a special halftime ceremony on Saturday afternoon as part of the Eagles Legends Homecoming Game during which many of the franchise’s greats returned to commemorate their time with the Eagles.
“LeSean was an incredibly gifted player who always approached the game with great joy and enthusiasm,” said Jeffrey Lurie, Philadelphia Eagles Chairman and CEO. “His elusiveness as a dual-threat back, coupled with his uncanny ability to make breathtaking plays, captivated everyone who had the privilege of watching him compete. His energy was contagious, but more importantly, it was his competitive spirit and commitment to being a great teammate that truly shaped his legacy as one of our league’s all-time greats. We look forward to celebrating LeSean’s remarkable career when he is rightfully enshrined in the Eagles Hall of Fame on November 3.”
Over the course of his 12-year NFL career, McCoy registered 15,000 yards from scrimmage (11,102 rushing; 3,898 receiving) and 89 touchdowns (73 rushing; 16 receiving) in 170 regular-season games. As a member of the Eagles, he led the NFL in rushing yards (1,607 in 2013), scrimmage yards (2,146 in 2013), rushing touchdowns (17 in 2011), and total touchdowns (20 in 2011). From 2009-19, McCoy ranked second among all active running backs in rushing yards (11,071) and rushing touchdowns (73).
Selected to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 2010s, McCoy was a member of two Super Bowl-winning teams, first with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019 and then with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.
The Harrisburg, PA native formally retired as a Philadelphia Eagle on Friday, October 1, 2021.
