Ryan Lacy: 5 Things You Need to Know About the Utah CB

The Utes' best cornerback and one of the better players at the position in the Pac-12, Utah's Ryan Lacy hopes to have his name called at some point during this week's NFL draft. 

Though diminutive in stature, Lacy's able to make plays with his best asset—his speed. NFL general managers love speed, and that may be enough for an NFL team to invest a late-round pick on Lacy in this week's draft.
