NFL news: Is Pat McAfee as powerful as Donald Trump? LeSean McCoy seems to think so

Former NFL star LeSean McCoy has dubbed ESPN personality Pat McAfee as one of the most powerful figures in sports media, comparing his influence to that of the President Donald Trump. During a recent episode of "Speakeasy," McCoy commented on a viral clip from "The Pat McAfee Show" in which McAfee appeared to be smoking an object in an ashtray during an ESPN broadcast.

While McAfee later claimed it was sage, the incident sparked speculation on social media that it was marijuana. The former Indianapolis Colts punter believes that McAfee, despite his background as a kicker, has achieved a level of influence that no other sports figure, other than Trump, can match. He stated, "He's the only dude that I know that can smoke weed on the show and nothing happens.

Call out his boss and then get a raise. He do whatever he wants." McCoy further praised McAfee's rise in sports media, noting that his personality and unique career path make him more popular than any retired quarterback, aside from Tom Brady.
