As a freshman, McCoy was the point-man for the "Wildcat offense" which the Pittsburgh Panthers unveiled in a September 2007 game against the Michigan State Spartans. In the Wildcat offense, McCoy lined up as quarterback in a shotgun formation and took direct snaps from center, A  Sporting News article credited him for having one of the "best starts by a freshman running back at Pittsburgh since Tony Dorsett", while the Wildcat offense was criticized. "McCoy might need to be a combination of both Dorsett and Dan Marino for the Panthers to start producing some offense other than through his running." On October 2, 2007, ESPN writer Pat Forde featured McCoy under the "instant impact" section of his column. Forde had this to say, "Pittsburgh. When starting running back LaRod Stephens-Howling got hurt, McCoy stepped in and Wally Pipped him. McCoy has 503 rushing yards and  six touchdowns, averaging six yards a carry."

"I like to see a talented young guy who takes the initiative to want to be the best he can be and he clearly is doing his part." In mid August 2008, Pro Football Hall of Famer, Tony Dorsett told the Associated Press that "He (McCoy) reminded me of me. That looked a lot like No.33 (Dorsett).

The serious injury he sustained his senior year at Bishop McDevitt was a factor in his decision to enter the draft early.

McCoy has been a resident of the Marlton section of  Evesham Township, New Jersey. Following his trade from the Eagles to the Bills, reports surfaced that McCoy was initially unwilling to leave Philadelphia for Buffalo, but gradually came to love his new city and its fans. He wrote a letter of appreciation to Bills fans on "The Players' Tribune" after witnessing their unwavering support, especially after the Bills ended a 17-year playoff drought. In 2017, McCoy opined that Colin Kaepernick, known for starting the 2016 U.S. national anthem protests, "was not worth the distraction" when asked why the latter was not on an NFL roster that year. However, in  light of President Donald Trump's comments that NFL players who kneel during the anthem "should be fired", McCoy took part in the protests, even continuing to stretch during the anthem before a September 24 game against the Denver Broncos. McCoy defended the participation of his teammates and himself in the protests, saying that while the national anthem and flag "meant a lot" to himself and his teammates, he could not "stand and support something when the leader of this country is acting like a jerk." The Bills as a whole had met together before the game to discuss how  they would respond to President Trump's statement. Controversies. In May 2013, McCoy was sued for his alleged actions towards a woman using the alias "Mary Roe" aboard a party bus on the New Jersey Turnpike. Roe testified that McCoy humiliated her and 15 other women by spraying them with a beverage before ejecting Roe from the vehicle. McCoy's attorney Andrew Smith Esq. responded, "There are no criminal charges pending and no probable cause was ever found," stating that the accuser was simply attempting to collect money from McCoy. Roe sued for over $50,000 in damages for assault  and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment and negligence. In September 2014, McCoy received criticism for leaving a $0.20 tip at the PYT burger restaurant in Philadelphia. McCoy claimed the low tip was due to "bad service." The owner responded on September 9, 2014, saying that McCoy had been "verbally abusive" and made "derogatory comments about women." In April 2019, McCoy tweeted an important plot point in the film "" shortly after watching the film, angering his followers and Marvel fans to the point that some blocked him and even called for the termination of his contract with  the Buffalo Bills or for him to get injured. McCoy later called this the "worst decision" of his life in an interview with "Good Morning Football". Domestic violence allegations. On July 10, 2018, a post on Instagram alleged that McCoy battered a woman, along with accusations that McCoy beat his son, his pet dog, and that he also used illegal steroids. The post was soon deleted and McCoy denied all of the allegations made in a statement stating he had "not had any direct contact with any of the people involved in months." In response, the Buffalo Bills issued a  statement via Twitter stating, "We have spoken to LeSean McCoy and have been in contact with the National Football League. We will continue to gather information." The woman in question was McCoy's former girlfriend Delicia Cordon, with whom he had a tumultuous relationship according to police records. Court documents show that McCoy had been trying to evict Cordon from a house he owned in Milton, Georgia for some time and was concerned that she would falsely accuse him of domestic violence. Cordon was robbed and assaulted at the home by a masked assailant on July 10, which coincidentally was  the same day as a previously postponed court date for the eviction hearing. The assailant stole jewelry that Cordon claimed McCoy gifted her.
