FORMER NFL star LeSean McCoy won’t write off the Kansas City Chiefs achieving a historic three-peat.
The Speak analyst declared there was “no threat” to the Chiefs in the AFC conference ahead of the new season.
McCoy spent 12 seasons in the NFL as an elite-level running back.
The 36-year-old won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs in 2019 before closing out his career in Tampa Bay a year later.
Now a successful analyst on FS1, McCoy was asked on Friday who would be close to ending Kansas City’s AFC dominance.
Under star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs have won back-to-back rings and are targeting a third-straight Super Bowl next season.
McCoy wasn’t impressed after colleague Ric Bucher picked the Cincinnati Bengals to be the Chiefs’ biggest challengers.
“I feel like we aren’t putting enough respect on the Chiefs,” McCoy said.
“Like, we’re talking about the Kansas City Chiefs. Do we know that?
“About to be a three-peat? That’s what they are fighting for.”

The Chiefs made the huge decision to move on from speedster and touchdown machine Tyreek Hill in 2021.
Many fans and analysts wrote the team off after Hill joined the Miami Dolphins.
And McCoy believes too many are writing off the Chiefs ahead of kick-off in September.
“The Chiefs were winning with all these special players. Then they get rid of Tyreek Hill, right?” he continued.
“Nobody thought they would go back to the championship again. Then they do it again.
“Then in [2023] their team wasn’t that good to me. We were talking about the Chiefs looking so bad.
“And then, they win it again and we’re back in the same spot again.”

“We do this every single year and I’m tired of it,” he went on.
“I will not be fooled. Every year, we ask who will be the biggest threat for the Chiefs.
“And we always throw these teams around. We always do this. And what do the Chiefs do?
“They win, and they win, and they win again.
“Me myself, LeSean McCoy, I am not going to sit up here and play this game with the big dogs….there is no threat to the Chiefs.”
