Less than a week after Kyren Lacy, the former highlight of LSU and the NFL 2025 draft leaflet, He died of an apparent suicide While the authorities pursued him, the agent of the deceased open receiver, Rocky Arceneaux, criticized the NFL for judging his client prematurely and intensifying the pressure that the 24 -year -old Lacy felt in the period prior to his death.
Lcy’s death occurred two days before he appeared before a large jury of Houston and faced criminal charges derived from a car accident of Louisiana in December 2024, in which his alleged speeding led to a fatal collision. Harris County authorities said Lacy was involved in a family argument on the day of his death, supposedly downloading a weapon before fleeing from the scene, then fleeing the authorities before he crashed with a self -inflicted gunshot wound.
Before all this, Lacy was not invited to the NFL 2025 exploration combination, the annual league showcase of Draft’s main perspectives, as its legal situation developed. This, said Arceneaux on Friday, was shameful for the NFL.
“As indicated by [Kyren’s] Lawyer, there was a high probability that the serious crime of negligent homicide would have been rejected by a large jury last Monday, Arceneaux said in his statement. ” Kyren was disconsolate by the tragic loss of [the fatal accident]. He was willing to adhere to any civil matter, regardless of the decision of the Grand Jury. Apart from that, the system failed us, and now we are mourning for the loss of two lives.
“For the NFL, shame for revoking Kyren’s combined invitation without recognition or consideration of the facts,” Arceneaux continued. “I urge you to re -evaluate your process and provide athletes with due process necessary before alienating them from their classmates and dreams for those who have worked so hard. Shame in the research agency for being more concerned about public perception, and pressure to charge someone, to investigate the facts … [Kyren] I should have had the opportunity to achieve [his] Dream of playing at the NFL, in just one week. It hurts that pressure, public perception, harassment in social networks, all without having the facts, were too much to endure. “
