Question for the football gurus: What is Fournette's weakness?

When he went down earlier today, he said he got hit in the balls. Maybe his only weakness

Kryptonite.

his vision, if you were rating on a 10 scale, is only about a 6. But if theres a hole and he's into the 2nd level, defense frickkkkkkkkked

Or, what does he need to work on the most?

His TD celebrations are average at best

He has a motor but it pales in comparison to Hester's

True, Hill had better vision. That's about it though. It's still pretty good, he's no Trent Richardson.

He has good, but not great vision. If the hole is there, he'll hit it most of the time but the great backs can anticipate the hole. That's just something that comes with experience though, and I have no doubt he'll acheive it. Just look at how far his vision has come since last season.

Also, the few times the TV showed him before the snap, he was cutting his eyes to where the run was called before the snap of the ball. That might be something a linebacker will pick up on later in the season.

Just something to watch for if the broadcast ever shows an angle from a linebackers POV.(camera on wire)

Ok, I'm a baseball guy, so bear with me. Is his vision something that he can improve to say an 8 or 9 by the time he makes it to the NFL?

a lot of it is natural, but yes it can be improved. but he'd have to change his whole running style, basically.

He's more of a hit the hole fast type of back. To improve his vision, he'd have to be a little more patient and survey his lanes.

His vision is as good as any elite rb his level. He just does not fear anyone. He would rather destroy the spirit of defenders. every time he runs over a linebacker, he stares into their eyes to make sure he catches their soul leaving their body and into his mouth, making him stronger with every crushed opponent.
