Spoiler alert, it’s him.

LeSean McCoy talked to Donte Stallworth’s new employer today about the upcoming Eagles season, his goal for 2,000 yards, and more. Did he mention Chip Kelly doing something unconventional? Yep:

I read in an article in ESPN The Magazine about how you have completely adjusted your diet. You were at your own birthday party and didn’t have any cake, or you had a bite. In terms of the little things, whether it’s nutrition or rest, how much has that changed for you since college?

“A lot — tremendously. The small thing that you think doesn’t matter, does. From what you eat, to how much sleep you get, to the way you take care of your body. Players tend to think, “Well, I’m productive, I’m good, I’m young,” but you can be so much better if you do get all the small things right. There are a lot of things like that where Chip provides the information for us to do better.”

McCoy told the interviewer that as a running back, he’s trying to avoid concussions on every play. “They’re slowing up?” he says of defensive players. “Good.” He goes on to say that he’s used to taking hits — something he’s said again and again — but never really takes direct blows.

“I want to try to prolong my career and to be safe, but to stay aggressive and be a good player while playing smart. And I try to do that myself … the smart backs — the great backs like the Barry’s and the Emmitt [Smith]’s — they try to get as many yards as they could, but they’re also smart. They save themselves from the big hits, because after a while they wear and tear on you, and you want to be fresh.”

I would have also accepted “tackles hurt, and I don’t like pain,” but Shady’s answer works too. And if you’ve somehow still got to do your fantasy draft (you have a few hours) and aren’t sure if you wanna go with McCoy at number one, he’s got some advice for you: “I’m only the best skill player in the league.” And that is something I’m sure will be argued all season long.
