Lacy, a former second-round pick, has started 48 games over the past four seasons. After consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start his career, Lacy dropped off to just over 700 yards two years ago. He plummeted to just 360 yards in five starts last season with zero scores.
He replaces Marshawn Lynch as Seattle's workhorse as a between-the-tackles back.
Eddie Lacy has averaged 2.15 yards per rush after first contact since 2013, second to Marshawn Lynch (2.20) in that time (min. 500 rushes). https://t.co/5fiA0ONYXm

He's certainly motivated and it's a slap in the face to the place he called home over the past four seasons to jump to a conference rival.
