Eddie Lacy is a classic one-cut-and-go running back, best suited for a downhill, power-oriented run scheme that emphasizes interior gaps and zone concepts.
Year 1 impact player in a power run scheme; ceiling of a Pro Bowl every-down back with volume carries.
His value diminishes drastically in a pass-happy, spread offense that primarily operates from a shotgun with extensive outside zone concepts without strong interior blocking.
Lacy's power, vision, and ability to break tackles make him an excellent fit for a run-first offense looking for a workhorse back, provided his weight is managed.
Selected #61 overall in Round 2 of the 2013 NFL Draft by Green Bay Packers out of Alabama.
