However, despite his on-field brilliance, Lacy has been dealing with a legal issue. The LSU star is facing charges of negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless operation of a vehicle for his involvement in a crash that killed 78-year-old US Marine Herman Hall in December.

Fans on social media reacted to Lacy's Pro Day performance, but some were still unconvinced that he would get drafted because of his trouble with the law.

As per police records, Kyren Lacy was driving his Dodge Charger on LA Hwy. 20 on Dec. 17 and “recklessly passed multiple vehicles at a high rate of speed” in a no-passing zone. The multi-vehicle crash left Hall dead and two others injured.

Lacy reportedly fled the scene after the crash. However, his lawyer, Matthew Ory, later said that the LSU star was not responsible for causing the accident.

“At no time did Mr. Lacy’s vehicle strike the rear of Mr. Herman’s vehicle, nor did any of the vehicles Mr. Lacy passed collide with his,” a statement from Ory read. “After the collision occurred in front of Mr. Lacy, he cautiously went around the vehicles after passage was safe.”

Lacy declared for the 2025 NFL draft only two days after the accident. He was initially considered a first-round pick, but it remains to be seen whether his off-field issues will impact his draft stock.
