LeSean McCoy won his second Super Bowl ring without playing a single down in either game
Congrats, Shady!
Let me start off with this fact: I am, in no way, saying a bad thing about LeSean McCoy winning two rings (his Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates, I’m sure, agree).
But it’s just a fun fact: “Shady” has had a terrific NFL career, and he won a ring with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019 after running for 465 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season.
Then, he signed with … the Tampa Bay Buccaneers! And he’s now a two-time Super Bowl champion, which is just amazing. What’s more amazing? He didn’t play a single down in either game.
He was inactive for Super Bowl 54 and didn’t play on Sunday (he had 10 carries all season):
LeSean McCoy just won back-to-back rings without playing a single snap in either #SuperBowl. Shoutout to Shady.

What’s even better about this is what his teammate Leonard Fournette had to say about McCoy’s role this year back in January:
I disagree for someone with his resume to be a mentor too guys like myself and the rest of the running backs I’ll say he played a big role in our room, he has been cut before like me, he taught me how to handle that situation God put him on the bucs for a reason… @CutonDime25 https://t.co/zvPANawvjD

See? He more than earned those rings.
