The Rise and Fall of NFL Running Back Zac Stacy

There comes a time that a star falls, which happened to Former NFL running back Zac Stacy when he was arrested for battery charges and sentenced to six months in prison.

Assault on Ex-Girlfriend

The altercation happened on March 26, 2019 wherein Stacy allegedly punched his ex-girlfriend and threw her into the TV. All of this were done in front of their infant son. Footage of the altercation was submitted to court, resulting in a guilty plea from Stacy on his assault raps. The attack, captured on surveillance cameras, set off a wide round of public awareness and court activity that led in Stacy being sent to prison.

Legal Proceedings

The video release prompted a manhunt for Stacy, who was arrested soon after authorities publicly asked him to turn himself in. His case went through the legal system and ended with his guilty plea, followed by sentencing earlier this year. The legal process and the sentencing dealt another blow to Stacy, who previously starred as a running back in the NFL.

NFL Career and Retirement

His NFL career started with the St. Louis Rams, where Stacy was drafted in 2013 as a 5th-rounder out of Vanderbilt University. After spending two seasons playing for the Rams, Mason spent one season with the New York Jets in 2015. However, because of injuries, Stacy retired from the NFL in 2017. Following retirement, he sought to prolong his football career with different leagues by participating in the 2018 season as a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and becoming under contract for one week two days later before joining The Alliance of American Football's Memphis Express where he, along with Johnny Manziel had been released shortly after.

Impact of the Incident

Their effects on Stacy's personal and professional life are, no doubt, far-reaching after the assault charges with his ex-girlfriend. Once a former NFL player lives the good life, he is paying for that with time in prison and all of the public shame involved in releasing one from such high-profile cases. The scenes began to tarnish Stacy not only personally but also set the sun on the horizon of his sports life and have obvious broader consequences for both this public image and reputation in general.

It cast a wide net, evidently thanks to the stories surrounding former NFL running back Zac Stacy's assault on his ex-girlfriend. The legal proceedings, the guilty plea, and subsequent jail sentencing have been a big part of Stacy's life since then.
