You’re not going to believe this, but LeSean McCoy is in the midst of a shameless, self-aggrandizing publicity stunt. I know, I know– he’s so reserved. I was thinking the same thing, too. But it’s true. It turns out Shady’s whole I’m going to rush for 2,000 yards thing, seen here…

I hate myself for even admitting this, but that’s a borderline brilliant stunt and an excellent (and funny!) promotional video. #2000yards #blindfold #SmellLikeYouCan DAMMIT.

UPDATE: As Eliot Shorr-Parks points out, McCoy tossing a 45 pound weight like it’s nothing was probably also fake and a publicity stunt.
