Fournette's playing weight in the NFL

How much should he lose? I say 10 pounds. 230 playing weight will benefit him
10

Whatever weight he plays best at

He's chiseled at 240. He'll play at 235. He has tree trunk thighs

225-230 prob would be good. If he goes to a team that features him it wouldnt hurt to play around 225. 325+ carries a year in the NFL is a grind.

225-230 prob would be good.

Let's be honest... Does it really matter?
ETA: assuming he doesn't get up to like 260 or something

Probably in the 225-230 range. Carrying all that weight for his playing style will shorten career. LeVeon Bell played around 245lbs his rookie and ran a 4.6 at the combine. He plays at 225lbs now and his play on the field has been pretty significant. Besides, I'm pretty sure LF7 would be faster if he lost 10-15lbs.

Whatever weight he wants. He is a bad man.

He was 225-230 his sophomore year when he was at his best
You do realize 225 is fricking huge for a RB, right? He will still be able to truck people, and will open up more of his skill set. Agility, explosion , endurance will all improve. You couldn't be more wrong

I'd say 230.

Sweet baby Jesus... is that gif sped up at all? If not, he is flying

an explosive, agile, more fresh 225lb RB running sub 4.40 is harder to tackle than a 240lb back running like he does now.
Again, go read the articles about him losing weight going into his Sophomore year. It's not a coincidence that he owned. Of course you prob thought he was playing at 240, well, because 225 is still fricking huge for a RB. 250lb linebackers aren't tackling him if he has a lane and a head start anyway

Pretty hilarious seeing people split hairs between 5-10 lbs. of weight.
