LeSean McCoy is arguably the most excellent running back in Eagles franchise history, and he’ll be honored this coming season during the team’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
At halftime of the preseason finale, team owner Jeffrey Lurie announced that the former Pitt Panthers star and second-round pick would be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame on Sunday, November 3, 2024, when the Eagles host the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lincoln Financial Field.
It's been a long time coming. Shady is headed to the Eagles Hall of Fame!

The official announcement was made during a special halftime ceremony on Saturday afternoon, part of the Eagles Legends Homecoming Game, during which many of the franchise’s greats returned to commemorate their time with the Eagles.
Philadelphia used a second-round pick (53rd overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft on McCoy, and he became the franchise’s all-time leader in rushing yards (6,792 yards). A three-time Pro Bowl back (2011, 2013-14) and two-time All-Pro (2011, 2013) with the Eagles, McCoy recorded the third-most rushing touchdowns in team history (44), and he still holds the franchise record for the most rushing yards in a single season (1,607 yards in 2013).
McCoy set the team’s single-game rushing record with 217 yards during the iconic “Snow Bowl” in 2013, in what went on to become the standout running back’s signature performance.
