620. Why Don’t Running Backs Get Paid Anymore?

My name is LaShawn McCoy. I'm an ex-NFL all-decade running back for the Eagles, the Bills, the Chiefs, and the Bucs. Now I'm on Fox with the facility, five-day-a-week show. Tell me about your early memories of playing running back. So I was about five years old. You're supposed to play at six, but I love the game so much. I lied to them until I was six when I was really five.

Were y'all hitting at five? I mean, we had pads on. I don't want to call it hitting. We had pads on. Back in the day, man, it was different. When we were hanging out in the neighborhoods, we would call this thing free-for-all. It would be like seven, eight kids, and we would throw the ball. And one dude had to make all eight guys miss.

It's one of the most unique positions on the field because you're the farthest one back. So you see everything going on. And as a running back, you have a job to do every single play. Wire receivers, they can take a play off. But running backs don't have that because we're either running the ball or we're blocking or we're in the passing routes.

One part of it is really the skill, natural gifts from God. Another part is studying and learning. And I tell other young backs now is let your natural instincts happen, right? But being a student of the game, right? Learning, like, okay, every defense has a weak point. Your job is really, like, to find that.

It's unfair because you're telling me that you'd be a great difference maker as a running back. And because I don't play quarterback— I can't get paid the right value for my position. You're telling me that because I don't play quarterback, I got to play elite level every year to get elite money. But the quarterback can play above average for years and one year be pretty good.
