Former LSU Tigers wide receiver Kylen Lacy's agent has sought the NFL in a lengthy post released in the wake of Lacy's obvious suicide released Friday, calling for the league to cancel his combine invitation “without acknowledging or considering the facts.”
Rocky Arceneaux of Alliance Sports has issued a scathing statement in the era that followed Lacey's death. The 24-year-old footballer was found dead from a “self-harm bullet injury” after chasing police in Texas on Saturday night.

The 78-year-old man was killed after Lacey was facing criminal charges in Louisiana in connection with the December crash.

“Kylen was a special talent, but even better. In December, the Alliance was blessed to have Kylen in our family. His infectious personality and love for life had a positive impact on everyone. “He loved football, and the fact that it was also a means to offer his family meant even more. His family was everything he was.”
Arceneaux then turned his attention to the NFL and accused the league of “allienating” athletes like Lacey.
“Shame to cancel Kylen's invitation and cancel the invitation without considering the facts. I would encourage the NFL to reassess the process and provide the athlete with the due process they need before alienating them from their peers and dreams.
Arkenaw quoted Lacey's attorney, saying, “A felony of negligence murder would have been denied by the Great Ju judge on the past Monday.”

Kylen Lacey led police pursuits to deputies before dying of “self-harmed gunshot wounds,” officials say
Lacey was accused of recklessly driving by speeding and passing in the pass zone when the driver turned to avoid Lacey and crashing into another vehicle in December. He fled the crash scene without seeking assistance, Louisiana State Police said at the time. Lacey's arrest warrant was obtained for negligent murder, felony hit-and-run, and reckless operation of the vehicle.
The big ju judge was reportedly set up on Monday to hear evidence in the case.
“Kylen was heartbroken by the tragic loss of (Herman) Hall. He was willing to comply with civil matters regardless of the decision of the Great Jue. That aside, we now lament the loss of two lives,” Arsenne said.
Lacey had declared the NFL draft after leading LSU with a touchdown received last season 9, but his draft fell sharply following news of a fatal car accident.

“K2-We should have had the opportunity to reach our dream of playing in the NFL in just a week. The pressure, public perception, and social media bullying hurts. Arceneaux has been added.
Lacey eventually crashed his car after miles of police on Saturday leading Texas law enforcement. When Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies took him out of the car to take him into custody, they discovered he was dead from a “self-harmed gunshot wound.”
