# Erik McCoy

NFL player. Position: **Center**. Team: **New Orleans Saints**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** Center
- **Team:** New Orleans Saints (NO)
- **Status:** Pro Bowl center with recent injury history

## 2026 Outlook

Saints center dealing with injury concerns after missing 20 games in the past two seasons. Missed action with a torn bicep last year. Maintains confident mentality about staying healthy and plans to play with "reckless abandon" rather than cautiously. McCoy is a key piece for what the Saints view as their best offensive line in years, with improved talent around him (Taliese Fuaga and Kelvin Banks Jr. at tackle, David Edwards at guard). If healthy, he provides stability to the middle of the Saints line. (per Saints Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy on missing 20 games in two years: '(Expletive) happens' - NFL.com)
