    Former Super Bowl Champ Would Give Back Rings To Erase One NFL Regret

    Winning a Super Bowl is the greatest NFL accomplishment few will ever experience.

    Six-time Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy experienced that feeling twice in his football career, but admittedly, he'd give it all back for a chance to win a championship with the Philadelphia Eagles.

    McCoy is a Pennsylvania native who played high school football at Bishop McDevitt in Harrisburg, before going on to college to play at Pittsburgh. He was then drafted by the Eagles in 2009.

    After spending six seasons in Philadelphia, he was ultimately shipped off in a trade to the Buffalo Bills. That moment still haunts McCoy, who went on to win Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

    "I would trade all of that stuff I done did to give it back to just be with the Eagles and get that one championship. If my career would have went how I know it would have went, like it did other places with the Eagles, I probably wouldn't have did TV," McCoy said on FS1's "Speak."

    "I probably would be somewhere in the office studying from Howie to be the next GM. It's home to you. The NFL, there's no homes in the NFL. I don't care who you are. But some players are that good and that special and blessed from God that that becomes home," McCoy adds.

    McCoy wasn't speaking as if he missed his calling for an executive gig with the Eagles. It was more along the lines of him reimagining his career trajectory after football, if he played from start to finish in Philadelphia.

    What if he was still with the team and helped them break through to their first Super Bowl win in 2017?

    It would have been a much different experience than the Super Bowls he won with Tom Brady in Tampa Bay and Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. The Eagles' fan base would have appreciated him more since he was there from the very beginning.

    He would have been a hero to the franchise.
