26CornerBlitz Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 LeSean McCoy on Playing in Buffalo Now: 'The Fans Are Like Family' Star running back has had his issues, but remains one of Bills most productive players ORCHARD PARK — Three and a half years since one of several days where his life was turned upside down, LeSean McCoy still feels the need to make sure Bills fans know that it was never about them. When he was traded to Buffalo by the Philadelphia Eagles in March 2015 to what was essentially pro football Siberia — a deal that came out of nowhere, shocked the NFL, and rocked McCoy to his core — he said it then and he says it still today, “I was upset, I was pissed, I really was.” He had nothing against the city of Buffalo, the team that resides there, or the hard-working people who root for the Bills with an unbridled, table-smashing passion that is nearly unmatched around the league. He just didn’t want to believe that a player of his already decorated stature would have to pack his bags, leave behind all that he had built during his six seasons with the Eagles, not to mention the convenience of playing an hour from where he grew up, and have his spot on the Philadelphia roster taken by some dude named Kiko Alonso. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watkins90 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I wonder what he thinks looking at the roster in place right now. We are obviously tearing it down to build it back up. I don't see McCoy in the picture long term. He might have two good years left, as he is pretty old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krf139 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Perhaps McCoy could have learned something from a bit of discipline. He seemed shocked to find out he had to go to class. “For 30 minutes, LeSean sat there with his parents and was accosted by Joe about the rules of Penn State and ‘this is the way it’s going to be, this is what you’re going to do, it’s going to be about academics,’ and LeSean was sitting there saying to himself, ‘Why is he talking to me like this?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Every player says this about the fans and city. If you really want to know how the player feels, just look where they go in the off-season, or when they retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you put down some roots here doesn't mean you don't have deeper roots somewhere else. I love Buffalo, but I'll most likely never live there again since my wife's family is entrenched in San Diego. And for these dudes with tons of $$$, there's more fun to be had, better weather, potentially higher QOL in lots of cities outside of Buffalo.
