Bills' LeSean McCoy: I didn't have a Pro Bowl season
LeSean McCoy has rushed for 895 yards and is fifth in the league in yards per game on the ground, among running backs with at least 200 attempts. He's also added five total touchdowns and 292 yards receiving, making his season a fairly good one. Yet, for some reason, he isn't impressed by it.
McCoy was named to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday night -- the fourth of his career. It's also the third straight year he'll be an "all-star," proving just how great of a running back he's been in recent years. Still, he's reluctant to say he deserved the spot in Hawaii.
Based on the fact that he's fifth in yards rushing per game, it's safe to say he's well-deserving of the Pro Bowl selection. He's the Bills' lone Pro Bowler, but offensive linemen Richie Incognito and Eric Wood are alternates and could find themselves in Hawaii come January. Incognito called it a "great honor" to be an alternate, sharing a different opinion than McCoy.
There are certainly players that would be happy to take McCoy's spot, and they might have to. McCoy has an MCL injury that could cause him to miss some time, and could elect to skip the Pro Bowl in order to recover.
