Eddie Lacy Responds to Unflattering “Fat Photo” With Strong Practice Performance

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Eddie Lacy responded to the unflattering photo of him on social media with a picture-perfect performance in practice.

One day after the photo from the team website went viral, the Green Bay Packers rookie running back showed just why the team is excited about the big, bruising style.

During an 11-on-11 red-zone drill Tuesday, Lacy got four handoffs during 17 plays the Packers offense ran. Each time, Lacy ran through contact and pushed the pile forward. Unofficially, he scored three touchdowns, from the 11-, 5- and 3-yard lines.

He says he has no concerns about his weight.

The controversy was sparked by a photo comparison that was shared on Twitter.
