Packers RB Eddie Lacy looks explosive through two weeks of NFL preseason

Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy (No. 27) scores TD vs. Oakland Raiders: Benny Sieu - USA TODAY Sports

Tony Horton, creator of P90X, has given Eddie Lacy both his health and fire for football back.

Lacy, 26, has looked explosive through two preseason games. He put the Packers on the scoreboard with a one-yard touchdown run in the first quarter against Oakland, capping off a 74-yard drive.

Lacy’s accounted for 69 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 carries in two weeks. He’s averaged a little under five yards per carry (4.9), despite hitting the mark cleanly on Thursday.

The former Alabama running back ripped off a 20-yard run early in the first quarter, adding more proof that he’s excited to return to the form that made him a two-time 1,000-yard man in 2013-14.
