Last season was supposed to be an opportunity for New York Jets running back Zac Stacy to prove that the 973 rushing yards he produced as a rookie with the St. Louis Rams were more indicative of the player he is than the 293 he put up in season two. Even though Stacy posted identical yards per carry averages in both seasons at 3.9 YPA, he was essentially phased out of the Rams offense in 2014, averaging fewer than 3 rushes per contest over the year’s final 9 games, going without a single carry in four of those.
The Rams shipped Stacy to the Jets for a 7th round pick on the final day of the NFL draft last May after a trade request was placed by Stacy’s camp.
