2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Kewan Lacy, RB, Ole Miss

Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota.

Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.

So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Durability on display as he handles larger workloads

Shows contact balance between the tackles

Lots of promise as a receiver out of the backfield

Has the vision and patience to wait for running lanes to create chunk plays

Kewan Lacy helps make this running back class complete, as it gives them nearly a handful of options for teams. Several may be looking to find their solution at the running back position, and Lacy could be one of those options. He makes defenders miss, handles a large workload while remaining durable, and keeps his balance through contact. I wish he got more work as a receiver, but for whatever reason, he hasn’t yet. He has the style to be really productive in that department when a team decides to use him more that way.
