Early years

McCoy was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. His nickname is "shady" and was given to him by his mother because of his mood swings, where he would be smiling and joking, while the next second will be upset and cries.

At Bishop McDevitt, McCoy's high school number (20) was cut in 2012. Ricky Watters is the only other McDevitt player whose number has been cut off.

Personal life

LeRon McCoy, McCoy's brother, was a wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. McCoy has one son and one daughter.

McCoy became a partner and investor in Bodyarmor SuperDrink in August 2012.

McCoy appeared in "The Real McCoy" on E:60 on November 28, 2012. Lisa Salters, an ESPN reporter, conducted the interview. It includes information about McCoy's high school career and his ankle injury.

McCoy has lived in Evesham Township, New Jersey, since being a resident of the Marlton neighborhood. McCoy was initially reluctant to leave Philadelphia for Buffalo, but later on, he fell in love with the city and its fans. After seeing Bills fans on The Players' Tribune gain unwavering support, especially after the Bills came to an end in a 17-year playoff drought, he wrote a letter of gratitude to them.

When asked why Colin Kaepernick, who was involved in the 2016 US national anthem demonstrations, was not worth the bother, McCoy said "not worth the bother" in 2017. However, McCoy, even continuing to stretch during the anthem during a September 24 game against the Denver Broncos, despite President Donald Trump's remarks that NFL players kneeling during the anthem "should be fired." McCoy defended his teammates and himself in the marches, saying that although the national anthem and flag "meant a lot" to him and his colleagues, he would not "stand and help" when the country's leader is behaving like a jerk." The Bills as a whole had met together before the game to decide how they would react to President Trump's remarks.

McCoy was suing a woman on the New Jersey Turnpike for allegedly acting against a woman identified as "Mary Roe" in May 2013. Roe argued that McCoy humiliated her and 15 other women by spraying them with a drink before ejecting Roe from the car. Andrew Smith Esq, the McCoy's solicitor, is on the lookout for a new challenge. "There are no criminal charges pending, and no probable cause was ever discovered," prosecutors said, adding that the accuser was simply trying to collect money from McCoy. Roe was sued for more than $50,000 in damages for assault and battery, deliberate infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, and negligence.

McCoy was chastised for leaving a $0.20 tip at Philadelphia's PYT burger restaurant in September. McCoy said the low tip was due to "poor service." McCoy had been "verbally offensive" and made "derogatory remarks about women," the owner wrote on September 9, 2014.

McCoy revealed a spoiler about Avengers: Endgame shortly after watching the film, angering his followers and Marvel fans to the point that some blocked him and even demanded that his contract with the Buffalo Bills be terminated or even injured him. In an interview with Good Morning Football, McCoy later referred to this as the "worst decision" of his life.

McCoy battered a woman, according to a story on Instagram on July 10, 2018, as well as allegations that McCoy assaulted his son, his pet dog, and that he used illegal steroids. McCoy denied all of the charges quickly, and McCoy denied them all, saying he had "no direct contact with any of the individuals concerned in months." The Buffalo Bills released a statement on Twitter stating, "We've spoken to LeSean McCoy and we're in touch with the National Football League." We'll continue to gather details." According to police data, the woman in question was McCoy's former girlfriend Delicia Cordon, with whom he had a tumultuous friendship. McCoy had been trying to evict Cordon from a house he owned in Milton, Georgia for some time, and she was worried that she would falsely accuse him of domestic violence, according to legal documents. Cordon was robbed and assaulted by a masked assailant on July 10, the same day as a previously postponed court date for the eviction hearing. Cordon alleged that McCoy had stolen jewelry from Cordon.

College career

After graduating at Milford Academy, McCoy joined Pittsburgh. He started the season as a back-up to LaRod Stephens-Howling, who was the starting running back in 2006 and rushed for over 890 yards in the previous season. "LeSean McCoy has been as impressive as advertised" in August 2007, according to Dave Grdnic of Panthers Digest. On the track and off, he's been a natural performer, but on runs he's been fighting is as tough as he bolts around end and covering just as well as the media.

McCoy, a freshman, was the point-man for the Pittsburgh Panthers' "Wildcat offense" in September 2007, which they announced against the Michigan State Spartans. McCoy ran back at Pittsburgh as quarterback in a shotgun setup and took direct snaps from center, according to a Sporting News article, he was praised for getting one of the "best starts by a freshman running back at Pittsburgh since Tony Dorsett," while the Wildcat offense was mocked. For the Panthers to produce some offense other than through running, McCoy may have to be a mash-up of Dorsett and Dan Marino." Pat Forde, a ESPN writer, covered McCoy's "instant impact" column on October 2, 2007. "Pittsburgh," Forde said. When starting running back, LaRod Stephens-Howling was hurt, McCoy stepped in and Wally Pipped him. McCoy has 533 passing yards and six touchdowns, with averaging six yards per pass. McCoy had a streak of four games in a row from October 10 to November 3, where he rushed for at least 120 yards. On September 15, he ran for 172 yards against Michigan State, his third game at Pittsburgh. McCoy's freshman year ranked third in the Big East Conference and 25th in the NCAA Division I FBS (formerly I-A) in rushing yards with 1,328. Rivals.com selected McCoy to his first team All-American squad and Rivals.com named him first. www.edu.com McCoy ran for 148 yards against West Virginia in the 100th Backyard Brawl, his last game of his freshman season, helping the 28-point Panthers beat the then-toppers by a touchdown. In addition, the victory removed West Virginia from a potential spot in the BCS National Championship Game.

McCoyz was one of the top running backs in college football in his sophomore year. "He's been really mature, he's taken the right option," McCoy's coach Dave Wannstedt wrote about McCoy's off-season strategy. "I like to see a mature young man who takes the initiative to be the best he can be while also doing his part." Tony Dorsett, a pro football Hall of Famer, told the Associated Press in mid-August 2008 that "He (McCoy) reminded me of me." That looked a lot like No.33 (Dorsett).

For the first time in five years, Pittsburgh's 2008 season ranked inside the top 10 for the first time in five years. Bowling Green was played at home to begin the season, but the Panthers lost 27–17 to the Falcons. In a losing effort, McCoy had one rushing touchdown and 71 rushing yards. This was McCoy's second lowest rushing total of the season. McCoy and the Panthers won seven out of their next eight games. He played in a streak of five games from September 27 to November 1 in which he ran over 140 yards per game. He had 762 rushing yards and ten running touchdowns during his five-game streak. McCoy's best game was still ahead of him. Pittsburgh beat the West Virginia Mountaineers and McCoy rushed for 183 yards on the day, a record high from freshman to 172 yards, which was previously unbeaten in both rush and receiving yards. He also scored two touchdowns on the day, both in the fourth quarter. McCoy led out a winning streak 34-10 against the Connecticut Huskies after finishing the regular season with 95 rushing yards and a touchdown. Following their victory over the Huskies, the Panthers were ranked #18 in the AP Poll. The 2008 Sun Bowl, McCoy's last college football game of his career, was played in El Paso, Texas, on New Year's Eve. He passed for 85 yards and the Panthers lost by a score of 3–0 in a defensive match against Oregon State.

McCoy had revealed in November 2008 and in January 2009 that he was returning to Pittsburgh for his junior year. McCoy informed Wannstedt that he had made the call to go pro on January 7, 2009. Nevertheless, he delayed the decision until January 14, when he officially announced his departure from the league. Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals, who later retired after two years, was able to sway McCoy. Despite the team's success in the Sun Bowl, it did not have a lot of clout. McCoy declared himself eligible for the NFL Draft on January 14, 2009, ending his two years of eligibility. The serious injury he sustained during his senior year at Bishop McDevitt was a factor in his decision to enter the draft early. "I learned a humbling lesson as a result of a season-ending injury my senior year," McCoy said. "Nothing has been promised to us, and it will all be taken away in a few days," says the author.

McCoy's offseason was stuffed with several comments about his former coach, such as how Eagles coach and general manager Chip Kelly "got rid of all the good black players" or that he "doesn't like or respect stars." McCoy did a lot of the backfield work, and he spent a lot of time with Karlos Williams, Anthony Dixon, and Mike Gillislee.

McCoy had over 1,000 rushing yards against the Colts, leading to his suspension.

He became the 30th NFL player to reach 10,000 rushing yards in a Week 15 match against the Miami Dolphins on December 17. He was tackled by Kiko Alonso, who was the player in the 1-for-1 trade that brought McCoy to the Bills, on the play that took him over the 10,000 yard mark.

In ten games, he had ten attempts for 31 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns for 101 receiving yards. He won his second Super Bowl against his old team but did not participate in the game. With the second Super Bowl being won over his previous teams, he became the fourth player in NFL history to win consecutive Super Bowls.

McCoy announced his retirement on October 1, 2021, after signing a ceremonial deal with the Eagles. McCoy retired after only 15,000 yards from scrimmage for his entire career.

McCoy was known for his enigibility and ability to "cut on a dime" and abruptly change directions, often running in a "east-west" style reminiscent of other less elusive backs such as Hall of Famer Barry Sanders, who ranked him as his favorite player growing up. McCoy's shiftiness enabled him to virtually avoid the constant assaults faced by "power backs" who have stayed in contact, extending his career in the sport.
