LeSean McCoy spent six seasons with the Eagles, becoming the franchise's all-time leading rusher and a fan favorite.
LeSean McCoy will be the 2024 inductee into the Eagles' Hall of Fame, owner Jeffrey Lurie announced in a video played during halftime of the team's third and final preseason game at Lincoln Financial Field.
McCoy, who retired in 2021 after 12 NFL seasons, is the Eagles' all-time rushing leader with 6,792 yards and was the league's rushing champion in 2013 with 1,607 yards, thriving within a first-year Chip Kelly offense that had opponents caught constantly off guard – though it wasn't built to last.
McCoy was unceremoniously traded to Buffalo by Kelly a year later after six seasons in Philadelphia. There was bad blood from that for a while with Kelly, and probably still is, but McCoy never hid his high regard for the Eagles and Philadelphia otherwise.
When McCoy, a Harrisburg native, made the call to hang them up in 2021, he did so signing a one-day contract to do it as an Eagle, and now he'll be recognized among the franchise's very best.
The Eagles will hold McCoy's induction ceremony during halftime of their November 3 home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It's been a long time coming. Shady is headed to the Eagles Hall of Fame!
