LeSean McCoy‘s trade to Buffalo was probably the biggest surprise of the NFL off season. He is one of the most talented backs in the league and definitely one of the fastest. He makes moves in the open field that very few guys can to make them miss.

Now with the Bills, McCoy is in a totally different situation with a quarterback controversy including Tyrod Taylor, Matt Cassel, and E.J. Manuel. Whoever wins the starting job between those three will have plenty of help around him including McCoy, second year receiver Sammy Watkins, and Percy Harvin. All are capable of breaking any play open and scoring touchdowns.

With all this speed on the offensive side of the ball, McCoy might have more room to run in the open field, but he also could struggle behind a new offensive line and new offensive scheme all together.

Last year in Philly, McCoy had his worst season in a couple years and some say that his downfall could come earlier than others because of his immense workload he undertook for the Eagles during his time there.

The bottom line for McCoy is that he is still worthy of a late-first round pick in most leagues and should still be considered a low-end starting back heading into the season.
