Them two rings going make it hard to say no to the HoF, even tho he didn't play a down in either Bowl.
He'll definitely end up in the Eagle RoH, tho. He's the all-time Eagle rusher.
Here's most of his case:
McCoy’s 4.52 career yards-per-carry mark is 7th-highest in NFL history among running backs with 2,000 career carries. It’s higher than 29 of the 40 running backs already in the Hall of Fame, including Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton, LaDainian Tomlinson, Eric Dickerson, Marshall Falk, Tony Dorsett and Earl Campbell.
Shady’s 15,000 scrimmage yards are 18th-most in NFL history by a running back, 26th ever by any player and 4th-highest among backs who averaged at least 4.5 yards per carry. During the 12-year period that he played - 2009 through 2020 - McCoy had over 1,000 more scrimmage yards than any other running back. Adrian Peterson was second with 13,792.
During his 12 NFL seasons, McCoy led all NFL running backs with 518 receptions. That’s the 15th-most catches all-time by an NFL running back. McCoy had seven seasons with at least 40 catches, and only seven running backs have ever had more. Shady is one of only seven players in NFL history with 10,000 rushing yards and 500 catches and one of only two with an average of 4.5 or higher.
Most people might guess that Adrian Peterson was the NFL’s best running back in the decade of the 2010s, but Shady has him beat. From 2010 through 2019, McCoy led the NFL with 10,434 rushing yards and 13,923 scrimmage yards. He had nearly 1,700 more scrimmage yards than any other NFL player during the decade and more than 2,000 more rushing yards. It’s often said that if you’re the best in the league over a five-year period, you’re a Hall of Famer. Shady was the best over a 10-year period. (This might clinch it)
McCoy made six Pro Bowls and 1st-team all-pro twice. Of 18 eligible running backs who’ve made six Pro Bowls, the only ones who aren’t in the Hall of Fame are Don Perkins - who never ran for 1,000 yards in eight seasons with the Cowboys in the 1960s - and Mike Alstott, who was a fullback. The only eligible RBs in the last 50 years who made all-pro at least twice and aren’t in the Hall of Fame are Alstott and Priest Holmes, who had a very short career. The only eligible RBs in the last 50 years who made all-pro at least twice and aren’t in the Hall of Fame are Alstott and Priest Holmes, who had a very short career.
McCoy was named to the 2010s All Decade Team. (That SHOULD clinch it) The only running backs named to an all-decade team since 1940 who aren’t in the Hall of Fame are Byron “Whizzer” White from the 1940s, who only played three years (and later became a Supreme Court justice), and John David Crow, who made the 1960s all-decade team despite averaging just 453 yards per season in the 1960s.
Pro Football Reference’s Hall of Fame monitor is considers players at every position and measures their Hall of Fame chances based on numerous metrics compared to Hall of Famers and then assigns them a score that makes it easy to compare them to Hall of Famers at their position. Shady’s Hall of Fame metric score is 83.14, and every eligible running back in history with a score that high is already in the Hall of Fame. Peterson and Frank Gore are higher but obviously not yet eligible. Not that the monitor does not consider receiving stats.
So, to sum this up: yeah.....he getting in. It's gonna take 3-5 years, but he making it.
He'll definitely end up in the Eagle RoH, tho. He's the all-time Eagle rusher.

Which is why Chip Kelly can NEVER come back to Philly. It's on sight with that fucker after he traded Shady and D-Jax, and let Maclin go for Sam Bradford, Jordan Matthews, and DeMarco Murray, that moonheaded muhfucka.

He's an Eagles HOFer
Didn't play in either SB which is hilarious when you think about it
He did make the all decade team though
