"I got to see him play on TV," Peyton Manning said earlier this year. "My brother Cooper sent me a text and said, 'Hey, there's a big game between St. Augustine and John Curtis,' who have always been powerhouses in New Orleans. So I was home on a Friday night, turned the game on and he's an impressive linebacker -- and, oh by the way, he's also the top-rated running back as well. He's some kind of athlete.
"And I haven't had a chance to meet him, but watching the game that he had against John Curtis, one of the best programs in the country, that kind of told me everything I needed to know about how good of a player he is."
Also intrigued was Peterson, the NFL's reigning Most Valuable Player. Upon hearing about the Louisiana kid who was being favorably compared to him, Peterson sat down recently at the Vikings' training facility to watch YouTube videos of Fournette. The first word out of the Minnesota Vikings' All-Pro running back's mouth: "Wow."
"He's a taller back with a great combination of size, speed and power," Peterson said. "Has great vision; his feet follow his eyes very well. He's very impressive.
"If he keeps working hard, the sky is the limit for him."

Did they leave out the part where he deferred the POTY to the EJ QB?

I watched the video in that link and it seemed that Marcus Dupree was pushing LF to linebacker. He said he would likely have a longer career and get paid more $$$ at the LB position. LF said he was 50/50 on whether to choose LB or RB. Is Les recruiting LF on whatever position he wants to play?

LF has all the makings and tools of a superstar. Will he do it at LSU? Have no doubt he's coming here.

He also won the 100-meter dash in a time of 10.68 seconds -- "little-guy speed," Curtis marveled -- at the Class 4A regional track meet for good measure.

Weezy said it best....Leonard Fournette is the truth!

Wow........ Can't wait to see this guy in P&G! And our line is going to be a beast while he's here! He could actually be one of those guys that plays both ways, really. I've seen him play saftey/LBer and he would be tops at any of those positions. Crazy!!! Def once in a lifetime recruit. That's just stupid that he isn't the consensus #1 by a mile. No way anyone has the career he does especially Crob...... He just doesn't have the attitude and maturity that LF does not close.
