The Facts:
A photograph taken from an unflattering angle turned Lacy into a trending Twitter topic Monday. All other photos and a Vine video showed Lacy to be in reasonable shape, but the perception remained that Lacy arrived to camp severely overweight. Lacy maintained his conditioning is "exactly where I want it to be."

"I've always been big. I'm a power back," Lacy said. "I get the tough yards and I'm fast enough to get around the outside and make big plays. No, I don't have any problem with any aspect of the game. ...'" As
previously noted, HC Mike McCarthy also dispelled the notion that Lacy was out of shape on Tuesday, telling the assembled media that the rookie RB was "fine" going through the training-camp conditioning test. That said, with fellow rookie Johnathan Franklin impressing early and veterans James Starks and Alex Green sharing first-team reps, Lacy hardly is assured of leading this backfield as a rookie. DuJuan Harris remains in the picture as well, though he's missed early-camp practices with a minor knee injury.
