Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly said that running back LeSean McCoy was “wrong” to suggest race played a role in Kelly’s personnel decisions.
“I’ve got great respect for LeSean,” Kelly said Thursday in his first public reaction to McCoy’s comments. “However, in that situation, I think he’s wrong. We put a lot of time looking into character and factors that go into selection and retention of players. Color’s never been one of them.”
Kelly said he reached out to McCoy, but hasn’t heard from him since trading him to Buffalo in March for Kiko Alonso.
