LeSean McCoy has publicly criticized the inclusion of Ben Roethlisberger in the 2027 Pro Football Hall of Fame nominee list.

"The list of first-time candidates for the 2027 Pro Football Hall of Fame has been released, but not everyone is in favour of the players named. Rob Gronkowski, Richard Sherman and Adrian Peterson are almost certainly going to receive a gold jacket at some point.
