Mike McCarthy: Eddie Lacy’s conditioning is improving

Eddie Lacy

Mike McCarthy says that Eddie Lacy’s conditioning is already improving this offseason.

The Green Bay Packers head coach expressed his dissatisfaction with Lacy’s conditioning during a disappointing 2015 NFL season. McCarthy even said in no uncertain terms that Lacy needs to lose weight. It sounds like the running back has already made progress.

“Eddie Lacy’s conditioning, I have great confidence is something that will improve and is improvement as we speak,” McCarthy told reporters at a news conference on Thursday.

New running backs coach Ben Sirmans also said that being lighter should help Lacy’s quickness and make him better.

“Being a little bit quicker and in this league, quickness and those things, they do matter,” Sirmans said.

It is believed that Lacy weighed around 260 pounds last season, which is a really high number for a running back. It’s no surprise that he consequently saw a drop in productivity with only 758 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.

The former second-round pick is entering the final season of his rookie deal with the Packers.
