My son met Leonard Fournette a few weeks ago

A guy who worked where Fournette was working out introduced my 8 year old to Leonard Fournette.
Fournette just got through working out and was sweat from head to toe. Fournette looked like he was ready for a shower and rest.
Fournette came by, saw my son in his LSU jersey and stopped and said hello to my son. Fournette took a knee so he could look him in the eye. He spent a good 3-4 minutes of quality time with him. He talked to my son about just having fun in football, concentrating on school work, listening to your parents and working hard.
My son would have been through the roof if Fournette would have just looked at him, gave him a high five and kept on walking. For him to get on one knee and speak to him like that blew me away. As much as he is hounded by the press, agents, fans etc... I was really impressed that he took the time out to talk to kids like that. And trust me, I am no one special. He doesn't know us from Adam.
He is a class act!

LF is a great person. There is endless amount of evidence to prove that.
Lucky he chose LSU.

LF is a good dude. I honestly think a team needs to value the non-skill attributes he brings to the table. Which in todays world cant be over looked. It def gives him a lot of value for just being a good person.

Even in all the fame, he has always seemed to stay fairly grounded and treat fans greatly. Great ambassador.

I don't care about autographs, pictures etc...I just want to know if the guy I'm pulling for is a nice guy. Well he validated that, that's for sure.

Bama and ULL/Bama fans exist among us.

I hope he gets drafted by a team where he can make that kind of difference.

I love to hear stories like this. It means so much to kids for their heros to acknowledge and talk to them

That's awesome. Like you said, he's a class act.
I'm sure he will represent LSU well.
