Leonard Fournette, New Orleans St. Augustine: The rising junior was impressive at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge and the LSU camp. He is a North-South runner who can take a pounding since he's 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds. But Fournette has also proven to be a surprising resource catching passes out of the backfield. The 2014 prospect does not have explosive speed, but that could be developed in the coming years.

I always understood Fournette had Speed and power. What’s up with that?

He may not be a 4.4 guy but he's PLENTY fast enough. Especially college. And he isn't even fully developed yet...

He has plenty of speed. It's just not national elite track speed. They just have to find SOMETHING to pick at (like TM7's allegedly deficient coverage skills).

Because he's from Louisiana. If Fournette played in the Northeast, Sports Shitistrated would have him as the greatest since Jim Brown....

You gonna be a slight bit slower when you run over the opossing defender. Takes a little time off your run but it still gets you in the end zone which is kinda what it's all about.
