St. Louis Rams running back Zac Stacy has requested a trade, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move comes hours after he tweeted "yikes" when the Rams selected Georgia running back Todd Gurley with the No. 10 overall pick in the first round of the 2015 draft on Thursday night.

Gurley tore his ACL in November, but it didn’t stop the Rams from making him the first running back to be selected in the top 10 of the draft since 2012.
Stacy’s tweet has since been deleted, but here’s what he sent moments after word leaked out that the Rams would pick Gurley:
Stacy is entering his third season in the league. He was a fifth round pick in 2013 and ran for 973 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. In his second season, he went from 250 attempts to only 76, and gained just 293 yards on the ground. In both seasons of his career, Stacy averaged 3.9 yards per carry.
