NFL Analyst Compares Leonard Fournette To Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker

by TD Staff Reporter

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

NFL.com analyst Lance Zierlein was on the NFL Fantasy Live podcast recently and said that LSU running back Leonard Fourentte is in the same group as Football legends Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker.

quote:
"We're talking about elite size and speed. When I say elite size and speed, I'm saying Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, I guess you could say Eric Dickerson, really, because he was bigger than people think, and he was definitely fast," Zierlein told the NFL Fantasy Live podcast. "And then Adrian Peterson. We're talking about a very select group of running backs there, spanning a few decades, and Leonard Fournette falls in that group."

This is true. Walker and Jackson weren't gods in every game either.

I mean it's just not true. You can look like Tarzan all you want if you play like Jane. Not saying fournette wasn't a great player, he was. But as much as he may look like Herschel and no when he walks in the room, the results on the field never showed that.

"where Fournette really distinguished himself was in his ability to break tackles. He had 85 forced missed tackles as a runner alone (he added 10 more as a receiver) — the highest number in the nation. To put into perspective just how good that is, Heisman winner Derrick Henry of Alabama had 76 as a runner – on 96 more attempts than Fournette." You sound informed

It might if he had any wins or games worth mentioning against Bama. As it stands he just another 3 time loser with no stats.

A "3 time loser" that is already signing multi million dollar endorsement deals. A "3 time loser" that's about to become a massive NFL star and rookie of the year. A "3 time loser" who is going to make hater a-holes like you very, very haterish.
