Erik McCoy named to his first career Pro Bowl Games appearance

Congratulations are in order for Erik McCoy: the New Orleans Saints center has been added to the 2024 Pro Bowl Games roster, where he’ll join two teammates — punt returns specialist Rashid Shaheed and linebacker Demario Davis.

McCoy was selected as an alternate, replacing injured Detroit Lions starter Frank Ragnow. He and Philadelphia Eagles icon Jason Kelce will be representing the NFC.

It’s the first Pro Bowl selection for McCoy in his NFL career, and it’s well-earned. He was the team’s best offensive lineman in 2023 and did a lot to stabilize a group that could have fallen into disarray after some early struggles. McCoy was also named a Saints team captain for the first time this season. Hopefully he and his family can enjoy this experience in Orlando before shifting gears to prepare for a pivotal 2024 season.
