Eddie Lacy, the second round pick from 2013, was supposed to be the bell cow back for years.
He burst onto the scene right away by rushing for 78 yards a game, tallying 11 touchdowns and racking up an ample amount of spin moves en route to winning the NFC Offensive Rookie of the Year.
But that season seems so long ago now.
It all started when the 25-year-old Lacy showed up heavy to training camp this year. Normally that wouldn't be cause for concern, because most players come to camp a little doughy.
The difference is, most players can take the weight off.
