Eric Franklin McCoo, Jr. (born September 6, 1980) is a former American football running back in the National Football League (NFL) who played for one season for the Philadelphia Eagles. He played college football for Penn State.
A native of Red Bank, New Jersey,[1] McCoo earned High School All-American honors at Red Bank Regional High School.[2]
McCoo finished his college career ranked ninth on Penn State's all-time rushing list with 2,518 yards, leading the Nittany Lions in rushing three years. As a freshman, he compiled 822 yards on 127 carries and posted the top single-game rushing total by a freshman in school history (206 yards vs. Michigan State).
McCoo majored in recreational management at Penn State.
McCoo began his professional career as a rookie free agent with the Chicago Bears in 2002, but was then acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles as a free agent following the 2003 season.[3] Allocated by Philadelphia to NFL Europa, he led the league in rushing and won MVP of World Bowl XII with the Berlin Thunder, highlighted by a World Bowl record 67-yard touchdown run. McCoo parlayed his successful NFL Europe experience into a spot on the Eagles practice squad on September 22, 2004, and was later promoted to the active roster on December 28, 2004, during the Eagles run to a NFC championship and appearance in Super Bowl XXXIX. He played in the final regular season game, rushing for 54 yards on nine carries with two receptions for 15 yards.[4]
McCoo was released by the Eagles before the 2005 season and was not claimed by any other team.
