Former Alabama RB Eddie Lacy has already cut a lot of weight this offseason.
However, after Friday night’s preseason game in San Francisco, the Green Bay Packer said he’d consider dropping even more weight — this time from the top of his head.
After San Francisco LB Gerald Hodges pulled Lacy down by his signature dreadlocks, Lacy said his hair may have to go:
“I’m debating after that,” Lacy said. “I don’t know how many more of those I’d like to experience. We’re in camp. So I’ve got to wait until I get out of camp, and then I’ll assess it.”
Lacy said getting tackled by his dreadlocks isn’t a pleasant experience:
“It definitely hurts,” Lacy said standing at his locker after the Green Bay Packers’ 21-10 win. “The first thought in my mind was a word I can’t really say.”
Lacy said he hadn’t been tackled by his dreadlocks since his junior year of high school.
If he decides to get rid of his signature look, he may need to be fitted for a smaller helmet, too.
