Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson, a pal of Lacy from their shared hometown of Thibodaux, Louisiana, shared his ultimate texts with Lacey previous to his dying.
“I need you to trust the process & put it in God’s hands,” Robertson wrote to Lacy on January 11, shortly after LSU’s season ended and at some point after Louisiana State Police issued an arrest warrant for Lacy. “I know this is a tough time but my faith high. I don’t know what happen cause I don’t wanna get into that. But if you are in the wrong everyone makes mistakes. It’s all a learning process. Keep faith brodie. Love n–a. I’m always here right or wrong.”
Lacy responded, “All love brother!” with a coronary heart emoji.
Their final trade proven within the submit noticed Lacy inform Robertson, “Appreciate dat bro needed to hear dat!! They gone feel us!”
Robertson mentioned “you know it,” abbreviated to “yk it,” with a handshake emoji.
Lacy started his collegiate profession with the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns earlier than transferring to LSU in 2022.
Over three seasons with the Tigers, he amassed 112 receptions, 1,692 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns.
In his senior yr, Lacy led the crew with 9 landing receptions, totaling 58 catches for 866 yards.
