Will LF7 flame out in the NFL ?

if he stays with the dysfunctional Jags, maybe

He'll be fine. However ( I know this is an unpopular opinion and will be flamed out of existence for this), his size and skill at such a young age stiffed his fundamentals, in my opinion.

I feel like you could see it at LSU and you see it now in the pros. He has a tendency to run into the back of his blockers instead of waiting for holes to develop. He relies on running through people instead of waiting to see their approach and finesse his way out of tackles. His undeniable physical attributes will still allow him to have a good career in the NFL, but in my opinion he could have been so much greater with a little better coaching.

Their Oline is brutal.

Erik flowers may be the worst left tackle in NFL history

Two things:

Some players adjust faster than others. Even guys from the SEC take a little time attendance on the offense: see Mark Ingram

Jags offensive line is a mash unit

No. He'll go to a team worth a damn that doesn't have him running into 8 man boxes consistently, & then he'll eat.

It was tough watching him get stopped three times at the 1 yard line, then watching Derek Henry take it 99 yards to the house.

Football gods are playing a sorry arse game with Fournette both in college and the pros.

I don't think he'll "flame out", but I don't see him ever being an all pro or anything to that degree. Perhaps a career like Mark Ingram. A solid back that is capable of turning in good seasons, but not a HOF type career. To me, Fournette's biggest issue has always been his lack of vision. He's all world if you can allow him to hit a open hole in front of him with a full head of steam. But he's not great at running patient to find the hole or making gret cut back runs.

I hope I'm wrong, but I see him as Herschel Walker 2.0. A good NFL career, but not the transcendent NFL career many thought he would have coming out of college. He had Herschel have about the same running style.

I say lack of elusiveness. RBs don't have long careers in the NFL...especially ones that get hit a lot.

If they don't get an offensive line, he will.

Ask his hamstrings, it’s up to them
