Keep Faith, Brodie”: Amik Robertson Shares Heartfelt Messages From Kyren Lacy
In the days following the tragic death of Kyren Lacy, Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson opened up about the deep bond he shared with the former LSU wide receiver — revealing text messages that highlight just how much love and support surrounded Lacy, even during his darkest moments.
Robertson, a fellow Louisiana native, had known Lacy not just as a football player, but as a brother. In texts exchanged earlier this year, he tried to be a steady voice of encouragement while Lacy navigated the emotional storm of his legal troubles. “I need you to trust the process & put it in God’s hands,” Robertson wrote on January 11. “Everyone makes mistakes… Keep faith, brodie… I’m always here right or wrong.”
Lacy replied with warmth and hope: “I promise big bro!! We gone talk in person! Go get dat ring!!”
The exchange, raw and sincere, reveals a powerful story of brotherhood — the kind of behind-the-scenes support system that rarely makes headlines. It’s a reminder that for every highlight reel and box score, there’s a human story filled with love, struggle, and connection.
Kyren Lacy’s story didn’t end the way anyone hoped. But the messages from Robertson show that he was seen, he was supported, and above all — he was loved.
