What nobody gets is that Fournette hits another gear when he gets to 40 yards that few possess.

SirWinston•111 months

That will happen like twice a year in the NFL

YellaPurp•111 months

Man it's some dumb ppl in the world, a man 240 running a 4.51 & that aint good?? Internet Trolls!

Tigers4Lyfe•111 months

It's good, but is it better than 225 lbs at 4.35?

Blanky6715•111 months

Who ran a 4.35 at 225 lbs?

Disgeaux Bob•111 months

That's plenty good to me too!

Ace Midnight•111 months

So, NFL defenses can practice by tackling bulls.

ShlikStyck•111 months

how bout Brandon Jacobs a 267lbs. Wow.

Whynotme•111 months

I was thinking the same thing. That big dube could move.

Whynotme•111 months

"Dude"

reed morton•111 months

And a basic flop in the NFL. He never hit the line tough. He always looked for a big hole even in short yards situation. LF will be there now & into the 2nd tier

I could beat that.....with my car.

Maybe.

Lexman1•111 months

Notice he has his mouth closed and showing no visible strain whatsoever. This guy is the real deal!

ShlikStyck•111 months

4.4something would have really moved him up

LoveThatMoney•111 months

Fournette looks disappointed with himself

lsucoonass•111 months

I don't think he got quite the push off the blocks he was hoping for.

A better start and he could be 4.48

FLObserver•111 months

he will run a 4.4 at LSU pro day.book it!

bencoleman•111 months

Remember he's had a bad ankle all year. That's a nagging injury.

CarterWilson717•111 months

They sound disappointed. Lol.

Patrick_Bateman•111 months

Fournette won't be pampered in the NFL. I'm interested to see how he adapts.

Datbayoubengal•111 months

Yep he was so pampered running on injuries in 2016 and averaging 25 carries a game with a trash passing game in 2015. Seriously I may be an LSU fan but I wouldn't associate in real life with some of you fake arse fans.

PeteRose•111 months

Funny how if LF played for Bama, people would be calling him "bust". But since he played for LSU, they defend him like he's their family. Tribalism is rampant.

He's had a good run at the combine and let's see how he is in the pros. I think he'll be a solid NFL RB assuming healthy career.

USMCTiger03•111 months

What in the hell are you talking about?

LSU Patrick•111 months

This is why you'll never make into the hall, Pete.

Datbayoubengal•111 months

He is 6'0 240 and ran a 4.51, McCaffrey is 5'11 202 and ran a 4.49 (his second attempt was 4.59). Now are we automatically supposed to call McCaffrey a bust? What about Dalvin Cook who ran a 4.50 at 210? Should we consider him a bust too? Will every player be a bust because people have something against them?

JohnZeroQ•111 months

Mike Vick ruined 40 yd dash times for everyone

bringit3210•111 months

who is mike vick?

themunch•111 months

He beat Bama. Yoo Hoo

TJGator1215•111 months

This guy is going to bust big time like Trent Richardson. He was rode to death, injuries, disappeared in big games, prima Donna attitude, etc. Bank on it.

Nix to Twillie•111 months

"Prima Donna attitude."

You're a stupid POS no matter the board or topic. Go EAD and DIAF.

I love how the guy is 15 lbs heavier than he should be, and instead of chastising this guy for not being in the premium shape....

he gets the ---- fast for his size.

Well guess what, if he wasn't 15lbs heavier then he should be --- he would just be considered FAST ---- not fast for his size.

Give me a 4.3 at 225lbs over a 4.51 at 240lbs.

whoisnickdoobs•111 months

Did they do a BMI test on him? If its 15 extra lbs of muscle I'd take that all day.

Central Tiger•111 months

You're huffing more than balloons

Blanky6715•111 months

Not a single person ran a 4.3 at 225 pounds so what in the world are you talking about?
