They couldn’t actually do anything.’ That certainly wasn’t the case for Terrell Owens.”’
What does LeSean McCoy mean to the Buffalo Bills? We asked 8 of his teammates
‘”He’s electric. The last person I’ve probably watched growing up similar to his kind of skill set is Barry Sanders. Just the way he’s able to create a simple power play and turn it into him cutting it back and 80 yards to the house. I mean, his vision, his feet, his quickness, his football intelligence — how he’s able to understand the defense’s angles and use that against us — I mean, he’s a complete back. He can catch the ball and he’s not afraid to put his nose in there and pass protect for his quarterback. It’s very rare to have guys like that who’s willing to be unselfish.”‘

Among 58 quarterbacks with at least 16 total starts from 2011-17, Newton ranks 48th in completion percentage around the likes of Blake Bortles, Matt Cassel, EJ Manuel, and Mark Sanchez.
