News and Notes:
Lacy started for the Crimson Tide in 2012 after spending his first two seasons at Alabama backing up future 1st round NFL running backs in that of Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson … Lacy had 1,322 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns last season for Alabama … Lacy recorded 140 yards along with one rushing and one receiving touchdown in this past BCS National Championship game, earning him MVP honors … Lacy earned MVP honors in the 2012 SEC championship game vs. Georgia after he dropped 181 yards and two touchdowns on them … Lacy is a sizeable back who does not shy away from contact. He has quick feet and the patience to let the play develop. He can catch the ball out of the backfield and tends to run straight ahead versus dancing around would-be tacklers
What they’re saying about him:
- Footballnation.com: “Eddie Lacy is the perfect build for a power back in the NFL. This means he can power through the defense while being very hard to bring down due to his lower center of gravity. Lacy is also a decent receiver out of the backfield – he has 35 receptions for 335 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns during his time at Alabama. Lacy does not have a history of major injuries, he’s a pretty healthy back considering he’s a power running back who doesn’t shy away from contact”
