Eddie Lacy is set to play for a huge contract upcoming — so it would behoove the talented running back to report to Packers camp in shape, hardened and ready to carry the load.
After Packers head coach Mike McCarthy called Lacy out on his weight — the creator of P90X reached out — offering to help whip the running back into shape.
TMZ Sports is reporting that the both parties are in talks to make the marriage happen.
Lacy’s people have been in touch with P90X creator Tony Horton — after Tony offered to PERSONALLY train the Green Bay Packers running back.
Horton — who’s trained all sorts of huge stars, athletes (Ray Lewis) and even politicians (Paul Ryan) — previously told TMZ Sports he already has a game plan to help Lacy drop his extra weight and get into the best of shape of his life before next season.
Now, Lacy’s people have confirmed the two sides have touched base in the hopes of working something out … though no agreement has been struck yet.
“The Packers will get him ready for the season. My job will be to get the weight off and help him eat better.”
Horton says he doesn’t want to undermine Green Bay’s training plan for Lacy — but rather get the running back where he needs to be.
I say whatever helps the former Crimson Tide star get paid.
