LeSean McCoy Comes In Sixth In Pro Bowl Fan Voting

Fan voting for the 2012 pro bowl has ended and after 100 million votes were cast, Philadelphia Eagles RB LeSean McCoy garnered the 6th most votes in the league. He leads all running backs with 962,824 votes.

McCoy leads the league in total TDs with 20 and trails Maurice Jones-Drew by just 60 yards for the rushing title. He is the only Eagle to lead his position in the fan voting, which counts for 1/3 of the final result. Player and coach voting makes up the other 2/3rds. Either way, McCoy is lock to make and start the Pro Bowl after the unreal season he’s had.

McCoy is certainly not the only Eagle deserving of a pro bowl spot, but if there's one area where you might say they got jobbed in fan voting it's along the offensive line. All the leading vote getters are Packers, when objectively Jason Peters and Evan Mathis are probably both having better seasons than any LT/LG combo in the NFC. Jason Babin is the other obvious pick, but the NFL only identified one leader at DE and that's Jared Allen. Undoubtedly though, at least Peters and Babin will find themselves named to the Pro Bowl either way.

The top vote getters are not surprisingly all QBs with Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady & Drew Brees leading the way. WRs Calvin Johnson & Wes Welker round out the top five.

Shady is definitely All-Pro. At least, he’d better be…

Did anyone see on ESPN

They had an article for “Non QB MVP” and one of the people was arguing McCoy

Do you know when they pick the MVP? I don’t know if he’d overtake Brees and Rogers, but if Shady has these last two games to make even more of a case for himself, then that argument could be a lot stronger.

When I die, I want the Philadelphia Eagles to be the pallbearers at my funeral. So they can let me down, one last time.

Well deserved recognition.

I really want him to get the rushing title?

It’s unfortunate that he’s going against a team’s entire offense…

McCoy, Babin, Peters, and Mathis should all make the probowl.

Welker has more votes than McCoy? He wouldn’t have nearly the same amount of success if he wasn’t in Brady’s system. I guess he has had a heck of a season though.

LeSean McCoy is arguably the best player (non-QB) in the NFL.

I will resist taking a shot at his fat, stupid head coach who does not use him to the best of his prodigious abilities.

God Damn you, Andy Reid.

Didn’t you just take a shot at the head coach?

I told everyone he was our MVP when the season started...

he has proven me right. He is easily and quickly become my favorite offensive Eagle of all-time. Keep in mind I’m a life-long Syracuse fan as well. Shady is the total package. He’s humble too and is a guy everyone likes. Give it to 25 and keep the hopes alive.

I’m really excited to have Murray and look forward to seeing how he continues to develop but I guarantee you that most Cowboys fans do not think Murray>Shady right now…I mean come on.
