When you follow this stuff long enough, you begin to be able to see & project it before it happens. It's all a repetitive cycle which most don't seem to grasp. The personalities, the body types, the physical traits. History is constantly repeating itself so if you educate yourself on the past, it helps to understand the present & the future.

Barring a rash of injuries or one catastrophic injury, Fournette will be a great one. I don't care where he would have played collegiate ball at. Honestly, I would still have the same opinion of him regardless. I felt the same way about Marcus Lattimore but unfortunately he had ended up having that gruesome knee injury before he could make it to the NFL.

I think in most circles Jim Brown is considered the greatest of running backs. He set the benchmark.
A phenomenal competitor.
1. 104.3 yd. aver. per game career
2. 5.2 yd. per carry aver. career
3. 9 years in the NFL . 9 pro bowls- 8yrs. all pro.
L.F.7 has the speed , power , vision and so far character , (the tools), (the potential) to be great.
However he hasn't even strapped on a helmet or is even a drafted rookie yet. No one knows yet how good or how bad he will be. I think there is one thing that is the equalizer to him and any other competitive athletes. This is the most important stat of Jim Browns career.
4. 9 straight seasons 0 missed games due to injury.
Literally every G.M., scout ,coach, fan and Chinese banjo player knows Fournette has the potential to be a difference maker but no one knows if an injury or a wayward meteor will put an end to his or anyones career. Just like investing in the market, previous results don't guarantee future gains but it's all we've got to go on.
