LeSean McCoy torches Bleacher Report over "fake news" calling Lamar Jackson the most overrated QB in NFL

Former Philadelphia Eagles running back lashed out at a reporte claiming two-time MVP Lamar Jackson was the most overrated quaterback in the league.

NFL insider Dov Kleiman shared an alleged excerpt from Bleacher Report's story, which claimed the Ravens signal-caller was overrated.

"[He] may not just be one of today's most overrated active quarterbacks, but also of all time...His 2-time MVP status is borderline fraudulent. His credentials don't measure up to other legends who've won," the report read.

LeSean McCoy reshared the post on X, writing:

"Fake news or news from people who never put cleats on."

Lamar Jackson has established himself as one of the most entertaining players in the league thanks to his explosive pace and impressive strength. The former Heisman winner has racked up multiple accolades since his NFL debut in 2018.

While Jackson has set the record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a season and most career rushing yards, the two-time MVP's lack of postseason success has become a topic of debate over the years.

Lean McCoy urges four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers to retire Chargers loss

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost 25-10 against the Los Angeles Rams and veteran Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a rough game. The four-time MVP completed 16 of his 31 passes for 151 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

Following Rodgers' rusty outing, Lean McCoy sounded alarm bells for the veteran quarterback, claiming the 41-year-old looked "scared" during the game.

“It’s time,” McCoy said. “I’ve been saying it for the past couple of weeks. I love Aaron Rodgers and don’t want to say anything bad about him, but it is time for him hang it up. He doesn’t look comfortable. He looks nervous in there. I get it, he’s 41-years=old, he doesn’t want to get hit. It’s time to let go."

Rodgers admitted after the game that he should have done better on several plays that could've impacted the outcome of the game. The Steelers are embroiled in the AFC playoff race and are hoping Rodgers' experience could help punch a ticket to the postseason.
