LeSean McCoy, RB, PittsburghMeasurables:
Combine height: 5-10 3/8
Combine weight: 198 pounds
Combine 40 time: did not run at Combine

Stats:
McCoy carried 308 times for 1,571 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and 21 touchdowns as a sophomore at Pitt. He added 305 yards on 32 receptions. For his two-year stay with the Panthers, McCoy amassed 2,946 yards and 35 touchdowns on 584 carries (5.0 yards per carry), with 65 catches for an additional 549 yards and one touchdown as a receiver.

Skill Set:
McCoy isn’t a threat to Knowshon Moreno and Beanie Wells, but he’s generally considered the best of the next tier of backs. He has good quickness to the hole and enough speed to get to the corner and run away from defenders in the open field. McCoy came down with the flu just before the Combine so he didn’t participate in any drills, but he’s been clocked in the 4.4s in the 40. He’s also shifty and elusive, with good balance, and his leg drive and competitiveness ensure he doesn’t go down on first contact.
