WATCH: LeSean ‘Shady’ McCoy inducted into the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame

Harrisburg native, and former Pitt Panthers running back LeSean ‘Shady’ McCoy was inducted into the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame

In what can only be described as an electric and magical moment, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania native and former Pitt Panthers star LeSean ‘Shady’ McCoy was inducted into the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame and Ring of Honor at halftime of the team’s Week 9 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

McCoy is arguably the most excellent running back in Eagles franchise history, and he’s been honored as such.

Back in July, 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.

The official announcement was made during a special halftime ceremony this past summer, 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, which became the standout running back’s signature performance.

Did Eagles Hall of Famer lose a foot race to the legendary Aaron Donald?

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.

Still, if he ever got into an altercation with Aaron Donald and attempted to flee, the Rams’ legendary defensive tackle would have no problem catching up to the guy known as ‘Shady’ around the world.

Former Eagles great DeSean Jackson posted multiple videos to his Instagram account of McCoy and Donald engaged in a literal foot race. Donald was running in jeans, and McCoy put his sneakers to the side to run barefoot.

Donald walked away from the NFL with 10 Pro Bowl selections, eight first-team All-Pro honors, three AP Defensive Player of the Year awards, a Super Bowl ring, and a place on the Pro Football Hall of Fame All-Decade Team of the 2010s.

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).
