Eddie Lacy is the crux of the Green Bay Packers' backfield, but the role that veteran James Starks plays in the offense is essential.
For two seasons, Starks has played a supporting role vital to paving the way for Lacy to become a breakout star, sharing carries and keeping the Packers' featured back fresh.
Even before Lacy came on the scene, however, Starks was proving his worth in Green Bay. During the 2011 Super Bowl run, Starks motored his way to 123 yards in the Wild Card Round against the Philadelphia Eagles despite only rushing for 101 yards through the entire 2010-11 season.
