New York Jets: Five best running backs on the 2018 schedule

LeSean McCoy

Does anyone really enjoy playing against this guy? He has been a thorn in the side of many an opponent through the years. When healthy LeSean McCoy has been dominant, first for the Philadelphia Eagles and now the Buffalo Bills after the Chip Kelly trade. Between the two teams he has rushed for over 1,000 yards on six separate occasions, including the last two seasons for the Bills.

In addition to the 200+ carries, he has put up four seasons of 50+ receptions and one year that hit 78 receptions. McCoy is the quintessential “scat-back”. He can do it all and he is about as elusive as anyone you will ever see. Not only is he tough, but the Jets have the “pleasure” of facing him twice a year. Great players in the division as opponents are wonderful, aren’t they?

Next: The importance of reps for Sam Darnold

McCoy has had success against the Jets. He has run for over 100 yards on three separate occasions, including a 110 yard performance last year in the opening game of the season series. He has been an elite player for a long time. A true test will be had when the Jets and Bill play their annual two games. The front seven will either step up or be exposed by this guy.
