Barring a significant injury that would diminish Mr. Fournette's skills, you are about to witness the greatest talent to ever tote the rock for the P&G. Hold on to your seats ladies and gentlemen and enjoy the ride!! The HYPE is REAL!! Let us pray that the health god's watch over Leonard cause old No.7 is fixing go off!!!!

He'll get double-digit carries in every game unless injured. Open the gate and let the horse run

That may be a little much but i dont get the people saying he wont get many carries. He'll be the number 3 running back at worst. Blue was 3rd with 71 carries last year and Jeremy Hill was the clear cut number 1. Fournette will have at least 100 carries barring injury.

LF would not have been drafted at all had he entered this year and neither would any other high school player ever


Now you just took it to far. No doubt he would have been drafted.

You can't tell me that an NFL team wouldn't have taken a 19 year old kid with his talent and potential and that is running low 4.4s at 225 lbs. Just like any other pro sport an NFL team would love to have a guy like Fournette out of high school.

Agreed. The NFL is more about potential than anything. Teams would love a talent like that with no wear and tear on him.

I can't understand people saying this. He is a freshman and won't get the carries you think he will. As great as Hill was. He didn't really touch the ball till game 6 against S.Carolina. Miles will not start or let LF get that many carries in the 1st few weeks.



Hill had 5 people in front of him when he got here

Hill had not played football in over a year because of, well, you know.

Hill was also not the #1 player in the nation

I don't know why you guys are so scared to think he will be good. Miles also has no choice unless Hilliard has gotten 10 times better.

I don't think LF gets as good a Hill was. Hill was a flatout beast.



It's going to be tough to top Hill. People tell me LF is the second coming, though. I'm excited. If he can even match Hill's production and potential, I'll be more than happy.

just as good, yes. It's not to take away from LF, but more of a testament to how great both were.


LF was a product of hype. People take that negatively, but it's not meant to me. He was on the national scene as a Fr, therefore everyone knew who he was.


No one here will agree though, cause Ive talked about it before. As far as RB's go, once you get into the top echelon, it's hard to separate 1 guy from another.
