Lacy's family was uprooted by Hurricane Katrina, and they even spent this offseason living in a rented $800-a-month trailer. His family will soon move into a $200,000 house in Louisiana. But the 24-year-old isn't flashy ... he still drives a 1995 Chevy Caprice.
Really? I find that hard to believe

I am glad Eddie is living a modest lifestyle. So many just don't get it and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and end up broke 2 years after their career is over .

I am glad Eddie is getting the recognition he deserves.

gotta remember...he was the 64th pick. There's a huge difference money wise...then taxes...and taxes...and taxes...
If he stays healthy he'll more than make up for it, but it's a total shame that he dropped that far.
He was so much better than that.
Yeah, but I would guess that as an NFL Running Back - you could get a bank to cover you while you got your family in a decent place to live....but, hey -- whatever works for 'em

interesting that he says he wants to be like Frank Gore and play ten years. Most say I wanna be the next Walter Payton/Barry Sanders, or rush for 2000 yards, or win multiple Super Bowls. Lacy, on the other hand, is setting realistic goals that he will likely accomplish. He appears very well-grounded. Can't wait to watch him against some seven-man boxes this year.

That doesn't make sense... everyone knows we hand out new cars...

Thinking back to 2010 with Mark, Trent and Eddie, was there ever a better threesome in the history of college football? Eddie waited his turn and look how it turned out for him. I wish more college players used Eddie as a role model in that regard.
