We all have seen them, but they overshadow two productive seasons with the Green Bay Packers.
Lacy’s first two seasons in the league were what we expected from a player who ran all over Notre Dame in the 2013 National Championship.
In order to determine what the Pack missed out on, we’re only gonna look at players who were projected to go in the second or third round of the 2013 draft.
Green Bay’s depth chart consisted of Jermichael Finley, Andrew Quarless, and Brandon Bostick back then.
Also, given the average career length of running backs, most teams are skeptical of taking them high in the draft.
In perhaps what was the steal of the 2013 draft, the Arizona Cardinals selected Tyrann Mathieu in the third round.
If the Packers had pulled the trigger on Allen in 2013, they may not have drafted Adams in 2014.
Perhaps even having Allen playing at such a high level would have helped push the Packers past the Seahawks in the 2015 NFC Championship.
Though it took Adams a longer time to develop into the receiver he is today, and he had two 997-yard receiving seasons, Allen has actually had been a slightly more consistent receiver than Adams has been.
It’s impossible to go back and change the mistakes of the past, but it is always fun to think of what could have happened.
