The Facts: Given Lacy’s punishing running style on the field and laughter-filled personality off it, a quippy nickname is bound to emerge sooner rather than later for the Packers star running back. The one he’s apparently chosen, however, isn’t likely to stick. “Eddie has a self-appointed nickname of ‘Moss,’ as in Randy Moss,” Aaron Rodgers said. “He thinks he’s got incredible hands. His hands actually are very good.”

Diehards Line: Packers.com staffer Mike Spofford confirmed Rodgers' assessment of Lacy's hands, writing: "Iit’s become a frequent sight through the first three days of training camp to see Lacy catching any and all manner of passes out of the backfield – on screens, quick flips to the flat or checkdowns. Spofford went on to explain the extensive pass-catching work is in line with HC Mike McCarthy’s declaration in the spring that he wants all Packers ball-carriers, and Lacy in particular, to be three-down backs who don’t necessarily need situational substitutes. Fewer down-by-down substitutions will help facilitate the no-huddle, up-tempo offense the Packers like to run, and getting Lacy the ball in space with a short pass is just another way to maximize on his talents. It's worth noting that Lacy’s 35 receptions last season were the most by a Packers running back under McCarthy since Ahman Green’s 46 in 2006, McCarthy’s first season. Considering Rodgers’ wealth of receiving weapons, it’s hard to imagine Lacy approaching the franchise high for a running back (Edgar Bennett’s 78 catches in 1994), but it’s easy to see his receiving numbers from last year rising. And that won't bother fantasy football owners in the slightest.
