Eric Dickerson Defends His Legacy
In a bold assertion, NFL legend Eric Dickerson has clarified his position regarding the potential breaking of his long-standing single-season rushing record, especially in light of recent critiques from former running back LeSean McCoy. With Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles opting to sit out the final game of the regular season to preserve his health for the playoffs, Dickerson can breathe a sigh of relief as his record remains intact—at least for now.
Dickerson Responds to McCoy
Dickerson took to social media with a passionate response to McCoy’s comments. The ex-NFL star had labeled Dickerson as "grandpa" and suggested that it was unbecoming for someone of his age to begrudge young athletes like Barkley. "I can't imagine at 60 hating on young players," McCoy said, sparking Dickerson's rebuttal.
