No player has worn the No. 25 for the Philadelphia Eagles since Chip Kelly shipped LeSean McCoy away for Kiko Alonso.
If the former Pitt star has it his way, that number will likely find itself in the Eagles ring of honor.
During the Super Bowl media event, McCoy made it clear that when his playing days are over, he’ll retire as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

When asked if he’d retire with a Super Bowl win, McCoy stated, “I can still play, so I’m not going to retire yet, but that day is coming.”
The man known as ‘Shady’ left a last impression on Eagles fans and the teams record books.
McCoy landed the Eagles starting running back job in 2010 in promptly rushed for 1,000 yards.
In 2011, Mccoy was named First-team All-Pro by the Associated Press. In 2013, McCoy led the NFL in rushing yards with 1,607, shattering the team’s single-season rushing yards record that stood for 34 years.
As it currently stands, McCoy is the Eagles all-time leading rusher (6,792 yards) breaking the record previously held by Wilbert Montgomery.
