Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy has a weight problem. Or does he?
We know the Packers aren’t happy with Lacy’s weight, but he’s still productive when given the opportunity to run the football. The evidence there is in his 4.1 yards per carry average in 2015. That’s the same average he had as a rookie, when he ran for 1,178 yards and 11 touchdowns.
But we’re not wondering if Lacy can be productive. He seemingly can be productive even when he’s overweight. We’re wondering what his optimal weight is. Not what the Packers think he should weigh, but what other running backs with frame’s like Lacy’s have performed well at.
