Scouting Report: Strengths
- Lacy gets off the line with a nice burst and is very fluid in his movements with little wasted steps in his routes.
- Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
- Fluid athlete with explosive burst and speed to stretch the field and breeze past defenders. Has a quick first step and gets to top speed in a hurry.
- Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.
- Does not have exceptional straight-line speed but takes advantage of open seams when his quarterback is on target.
- Has elite speed and cutting ability and good hands and toughness. Lacks the ideal size, but has a similar body type to Antonio Brown.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has only average height and overall length. Lacks initial burst off the line of scrimmage and has more build-up speed than track wheels. Limited explosiveness and flexibility and will struggle to separate against pro defensive backs
- Because of that small frame, Lacy won’t be for everyone; many teams still want their No. 1 receiver to be 6'2" or taller.
- His ability to track the ball is good enough, but he too often let the ball get into his body downfield rather than snatching it with his hands.
