Eddie Lacy serves as reminder of how quickly things can decline for RBs

This may be hard to accept, but Eddie Lacy was good in 2016. He only had 75 touches for the Green Bay Packers before an injury ended his season after five games, but he was more successful than not on those 75 touches. Lacy had 5.1 yards per carry and broke 26 tackles, giving him the highest broken tackle percentage in the NFL that year for any back with at least 25 touches, per FootballOutsiders.

Granted, that BT% likely declines if Lacy gets another 200 touches, but the rate likely would’ve still kept him near the top of those rankings.
