Eddie Lacy

Eddie Lacy won three National Championships when he was at the University of Alabama, so he certainly came into the National Football League with s winning pedigree.

The Green Bay Packers made Lacy the fourth Running Back taken in the 2013 Draft (2ndRound, 61stOverall), and he had a phenomenal rookie campaign, going to the Pro Bowl and capturing the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.  That year, Lacy rushed for 1,178 Yards and 11 Touchdowns, both of which would be career-highs.  Lacy rushed for 1,139 Yards in his sophomore season, but despite not making the Pro Bowl, he arguably had a better year, as he had 427 Receiving Yards with four TDs and was ninth in Yards From Scrimmage (1,566).  

Lacy never was at that level again, as he slumped to under 800 Rushing Yards in 2015, and an injured ankle held him to five Games in 2016. He signed with Seattle in 2017, but he saw limited action and was out of the league after that year.
