In case you missed it, Nebraska four-star linebacker commit Avery Roberts had an interesting tweet out LSU running back Leonard Fournette, saying that he would "...put him to sleep!" if they ever met on the football field.

The tweet was eventually deleted, but Fournette found out about it and sent Roberts the following personal message, which was screenshotted and tweeted out by the four-star prospect.


Awesome move by Fournette by taking the high road and providing the young football player with some future advice.

He called him a boy, LF7 has mastered the smack talk game.

Hopefully, they never meet, because it would have to be in a bowl game and Nebraska sucks.

Twitter still sucks, but Leonard Fournette makes it suck a lot less.

Would we expect anything less? Fournette is the definition of class.

The kid was pumped that LF7 even acknowledged him. Nothing to see here. Good luck to both.

Good to see he took the high road here but wouldnt have expected anything else with him. On another note, I havent read the comments yet so Im guessing the words "class or classy" has been used at least 15 times now. Anything less and TD posters are sleeping.

Based on Fournette saying "boy I know it was a joke", you can tell that kid backed down heavily on what he said right before that.

Should have just ignored the "boy" IMO. The kid got the exposure he was looking for.

Nothing to see just a harmless troll that got blown out of proportion and actually got acknowledged
