Lacy, who took part in the NFL Combine earlier this year, died in Houston on April 24. He died of apparent suicide in his car while being pursued by authorities.

Lacy died two days before his grand jury evidence hearing. He was accused of killing a 78-year-old man in a fatal car accident in December last year.

Lacy began his collegiate career at Louisiana in 2020. He transferred to LSU in 2022 and played three years with the Tigers. Nabers and Lacy were teammates during the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

“I got a little dance, you know, my great friend that passed away this year, Kyren Lacy," Nabers said. "You know he used to do a dance, I’m sure you know, it’s on College Football now. So, I’mma be switching out of those dances that he used to do when we used to play together, so just to honor him and everybody remembers his name. So I would just wanna, you know, show gratitude to him, so a couple of his dances I’m gonna be showing during the season.”

The Giants drafted Nabers with the No. 6 pick in the 2024 NFL draft. He had a fabulous rookie season, posting 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns on 109 receptions, earning a Pro Bowl honor.
