Former Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy delivered a scathing assessment of Trevor Lawrence's role in Doug Pederson's firing from the Jacksonville Jaguars. His comments highlight the growing scrutiny surrounding the quarterback's performance.
McCoy, a six-time Pro Bowler and two-time Super Bowl champion, brings credibility to the conversation as someone who played under Andy Reid's coaching tree. Pederson, who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles, was fired by Jacksonville on Monday after a disappointing 4-13 season.
Speaking on Monday's "The Facility Show," McCoy addressed the NFL's tendency to protect high-draft quarterbacks at the expense of proven coaches. He used Pederson's situation in Jacksonville as a prime example.
