After signing a contract extension just before the 2022 NFL season kicked off, Erik McCoy had proven to become a valuable asset to the New Orleans Saints for the duration of his rookie contract. This past season when healthy, McCoy once again came through once again and was a force on the Saints offensive line.
McCoy started 13 games for the team in 2022, despite missing 4 games in the middle of the season, McCoy posted a respectable PFF grade of 61.2 and allowing just 1 sack along with 5 penalties.
This was McCoy’s roughest season so far when you consider the injuries and overall, the sluggish offensive play at times, however the Saints still averaged well over 100 yards a game and finished in the top half in most major rushing statistics still.
