Eddie Lacy’s struggle with staying in shape was well documented last season. After the Green Bay Packers got bounced from the playoffs, even head coach Mike McCarthy said that he’d need to lose weight if he hoped to play next year.
Here’s McCarthy in January, via the Green Bay Press Gazette:

Well, I mean Eddie Lacy, he’s got a lot of work to do. I think I’m stating the obvious. His offseason last year was not good enough and he never recovered from it. I had a chance to talk to Eddie today and that was pretty much the majority of our whole conversation. So he has to get it done because he cannot play at the weight that he played at this year.
Well, it seems like the 25-year-old has held up his end of the bargain.
To jog your memory, here’s a photo of Lacy from the Packers’ playoff game against the Arizona Cardinals — most recent time he was on the field.
And courtesy of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, here’s what lacy looks like these days.
Looks like those workouts with Tony Horton of P90X fame paid off.
It’ll obviously be impossible to tell if this will pay dividends until we see Lacy on the football field, but seeing that Lacy has taken the initiative and finally taken control of an issue that has plagued him for years has to encourage the Packers.
