context_page_description: LeSean Kamel McCoy, nicknamed Shady, is an American football running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. He played college football at Pittsburgh and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He has also played for the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs.
  McCoy attended Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, from 2002 to 2006. In his senior year of high school, McCoy suffered a major ankle injury, which threatened his career. In his first year at Pittsburgh in 2007, McCoy rushed for over 1,300 yards and recorded 14 touchdowns. In 2008, McCoy was selected as a second-team All-American. His 21 rushing touchdowns were third in the nation, only one behind the two leaders.
  In 2010, McCoy took over as the starting running back for the Eagles, and broke the 1,000 yard rushing barrier. In 2011, McCoy was named First team All-Pro by the Associated Press. In 2012, McCoy suffered a concussion that limited him to only 12 games. In 2013, McCoy led the NFL in rushing yards with 1,607, shattering the team's individual single-season rushing yards record that stood for 34 years.
context_section_description: On September 10, 2017, McCoy had 159 yards (110 rushing and 49 receiving) from scrimmage in a 21–12 season opening win against the New York Jets. In this game, McCoy eclipsed 12,000 scrimmage yards for his career. He became the sixth active player to reach the mark and one of 60 players to ever reach 12,000 yards from scrimmage. Despite struggling early in the season in Rick Dennison's offense, McCoy had strong games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders, and the Los Angeles Chargers. During Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts in blizzard-like conditions, McCoy rushed for 156 yards and the game-winning touchdown in overtime, allowing the Bills to win 13–7. The performance against the Colts put McCoy over 1,000 rushing yards for the season.
  On December 17, 2017 in a game against the Miami Dolphins he became the 30th NFL player to exceed 10,000 rushing yards. On the play that took him over the 10,000 yard mark he was tackled by Kiko Alonso, who was the player in the 1-for-1 trade that brought McCoy to the Bills. On December 19, 2017, McCoy was named to his sixth Pro Bowl. The Bills finished the regular season with a 9–7 record and made the playoffs as the #6-seed. In the Wild Card Round against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he finished with 75 rushing yards and 44 receiving yards as the Bills lost by a score of 10–3. He was ranked 30th on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2018.
