The Facts: When it came to picking a new team, Lacy saw a perfect fit in the Seattle Seahawks, who when at their best in recent years have featured a running game that is equal parts explosive and punishing -- especially when Marshawn Lynch was the primary back. While Lacy admired Lynch's game, he said he isn't here to fill the shoes of one of the retired back, but rather to "prove that I'm not a fluke, that I can do what I do and do it really well."
Diehards Line:According to Seahawks.com's John Boyle, Lacy uses the word “fluke” because he’s motivated to prove that he’s still the back who rushed for more than 1,100 yards in each of his first two seasons with the Packers, and not the player who was limited to only five games in 2016 because of an ankle injury. Lacy joins a backfield that includes Thomas Rawls, who led the NFL in rushing yards per carry as a rookie in 2015, C.J. Prosise, who was a dynamic threat as a runner and receiver when healthy last year, and Alex Collins, who came on strong late in his rookie season, and the former Packers starter doesn’t come to Seattle assuming anything about his role with his new team. But make not mistake: As long as he's healthy and in shape, Lacy is the guy in Seattle. In a related note, Lacy's contract with the Seahawks pays him $55K each for meeting the following weight on schedule: May, 255 pounds; June and August, 250 pounds; September-December, 245 pounds.
