Given his sparse usage over the last several weeks, it appears likely McCoy could be headed for a quiet Super Bowl for the second straight year after being saddled with an inactive designation for the Buccaneers' upcoming title-game opponent, the Chiefs, in last year's edition of the contest. McCoy logged just one snap from scrimmage without a touch during the Buccaneers' 31-26 win over the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.Īnalysis: The veteran back was active for the second straight postseason contest, but just as in a divisional-round win over the Saints, McCoy didn't have a chance to touch the ball against the Packers. Whether McCoy will have a chance to substantiate that in 2021 in Tampa Bay or elsewhere remains to be seen, however.

Now having carried the ball just 271 times over the last three seasons combined, the degree of wear and tear on the 32-year-old's body may arguably not be commensurate to what is considered an advanced age for a running back. McCoy never touched the ball during Tampa Bay's postseason run, but he did display some explosiveness at times when seeing action in 2020. After inking a one-year deal with the Buccaneers last offseason, McCoy ultimately logged just 25 touches (10 rushing, 15 receiving) all season, as both subsequent signing Leonard Fournette and rookie Ke'Shawn Vaughn ate into his opportunities. McCoy was active but did not log a snap during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday.Īnalysis: The veteran has now been to two Super Bowls in his career and has yet to log a snap, as in addition to failing to get into Sunday's contest, he was a healthy scratch for the Chiefs' Super Bowl LIV win over the 49ers a year ago.

The 33-year-old recorded 31 rushing yards across 10 games last year in Tampa Bay but could find a more prominent role on a team in need of rushing depth. I think right now it's just all about being in shape, being ready for the call and also the right road, the right fit," McCoy told NFL Network's MJ Acosta on NFL Total Access.Īnalysis: McCoy is coming off his second straight Super Bowl run, going back-to-back with the Chiefs and Buccaneers over the past two seasons. "I've had some talks to my agent Drew Rosenahaus. He retires as one of only five running backs in NFL history with at least 11,000 rushing yards and 500 receptions, with the other four being Hall of Famers (Marshall Faulk, LaDainian Tomlinson, Marcus Allen and Emmitt Smith).Īfter contemplating retirement, McCoy confirmed he is now looking for the right situation in 2021, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.
