Numerous reports indicate that Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy slimmed down significantly during this off-season. Recent fan photos show the chicken noodle soup-lovin‘ Louisianan sporting a svelte frame. How dramatic is the change? This GIF sums it up nicely:

Last season was the worst of Lacy’s career, and Packers head coach Mike McCarthy called out the running back for being overweight. Lacy appears to have taken the message to heart, and he may have enlisted P90X founder Tony Horton to help him shed poundage. Time will tell whether the toned up Lacy can take it to NFL defenses like the once-bruising back did earlier in his career.
