Former LSU and current New England Patriot defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois went up to Leonard Fournette, who was clearly emotional after Sunday's AFC Championship game, and gave him some positive word of encouragement after the tough loss.

Fantastic rookie season Leonard. Keep your head high.

Once a Tiger always a Tiger that's just big brother consoling lil brother PURPLE&GOLD Brotherhood 4Life.

TJGator1215•81 months

Grown men crying over a game. I've never understood it.

JohnnyRebel•81 months

When you have the potential to be a great at something, I think it's more than just a game. It's his life and legacy, and eveything he's worked for the past year. It's not like he's a guy goin to play a game of pool at a bar.

Haughtonboy•81 months

Love that kid. shite. Edit. Grown arse man.

biglego•81 months

I didn’t even realize RJF was still playing. He’s had quite a career.

Drizzt•81 months

I'm taking a knee on feeling bad for Leonard.

Tigers4Lyfe•81 months

I know you're trying you be nice, but there is no guarantee he will be back soon.

The Jags are a terrible franchise. Every time they get close to elite status, they go ahead and scuttle the team. LF needs to get out of there.

DrSteveBrule•81 months

Yeah LF needs to leave one of the brightest young teams in the NFL. Do you not pay attention to how the saints, Seahawks and others turned their franchises around?

starsandstripes•81 months

Learn something about the Jags history and then run your mouth, 'doctor'.

SpartyGator•81 months

I think some of you are missing my point. I have no hate or blame injuries for anything. I overcame my adversity and had a very successful career in the private sector. That was God’s plan for me. I’m truly blessed! I just don’t believe in crying after a loss. As far as LF goes, I’ve always supported him. Even while some on this panel ragged him about his low production against Bama! I pointed out that poor o-line play and predictable play calling had a lot to do with that. Leonard is a class act. Don’t misunderstand me. I just don’t see where it’s worth crying over. I never saw Manning, Favre, Brees, Brady, or Marino cry after losing a SB or Championship game, have you? That’s my point. Take a negative and turn it into a positive!

Lsu101205•81 months

Stop acting like crying is a sign of weakness. That is where the disconnect is, no one is faulting the rest of your message. Its ok to cry, you are allowed to let your emotions come out sometimes. Do you fault him for crying when his daughter was born?

Lexman1•81 months

Never said it was, Lsu101205. I have a daughter, a graduate of LSU, and I didn’t cry when she was born. Instead, I thought about my responsibilities and financial obligations in order to give her a good life. I assure you, I’ve cried at the loss of friends and loved ones just like anyone. I just do it privately.

Lsu101205•81 months

And that is a respectable response. And I dont think one way or another of that. But the point is everyone responds differently and there is no reason to claim to tell a grown man how he should react to a loss.

Ricky Jean!! That blocked kick!!!!

CHIPMANCATFISH•81 months

The Jags got there because of Fournette. Bortles probably will be testing the free market and (Robert) Blake will give the Jaguar's the bird.

Lexman1•81 months

Actually, I played sports my whole life and tore up almost everything on my body at one time or another. I played to win, even though I didn’t get paid to do it. I missed my chance due to injuries, which is worse than losing a game. So don’t tell me I don’t know what goes into it. Add surgeries and extensive rehab sessions to that, and You might know what goes into it. And I never cried, you bunch of pussies!

TigerIT•81 months

You, sir, are an idiot.

CoachGeaux3185•81 months

So I take it because you missed "a chance" you got to take that anger and hate you have inside out on one of the most passionate and greatest tigers to walk into Death Valley. Maybe you need to look at both sides of the Spectrum and realize not everyone plays the game like you did and the emotion of that moment takes over a lot of us and he handled the situation differently.

GaTiger27•81 months

There’s always one mofo on this board who has some dumb shite to say and gets a billion downvotes. This time it’s you. Sucks you didn’t take care of your body, sucks you didn’t make it. Nobody gives a shite. Take it up with your therapist.

LSU-MNCBABY•81 months

Fournette should be use to losing big games from his time here

Lexman1•81 months

I really wish players would stop crying after a loss. I know a lot of work over a long season culminating in a loss sucks, but guess what? You now have a six month vacation and millions of dollars in the bank to take your family wherever you want and relax! This sensitivity crap is for the birds! You’re supposed to be gladiators of the gridiron! Start acting like it! Act pissed off! Your teammates will see this as a sign of strength, and run through a brick wall for you! Not so much when they see you cry! Man up, LF7!

CoachGeaux3185•81 months

I take it you never played sports or a meaningful game in your life. Athletes at the top of their sport put the body through hell for the game they love. I want my players to show that kind of emotion which shows me how much they really care about the game.

TampaTiger22•81 months

You have no idea what goes into it apparently. He is not crying from sadness, he is upset and frustrated . Maybe you should have played a sport instead of being a couch potato great

the LSUSaint•81 months

So you want to see players "man up" and care less about losses? What a dumbass

staring out at us with his yellow eyes. He had yellow eyes! So help me, God! Yellow eyes!

Sweet daddy•81 months

Yes RJF is a very humble guy probably on his last leg with NE I hope he gets a ring .

eugene1928LSU•81 months

RJF big part of 2007 NC. Unstoppable at LOS. Great player, Great Tiger.

dgnx6•81 months

He was a great player, but he was suspended the entire season. He played in the title game because it was the next semester.

SoFla Tideroller•81 months

LF was so upset he couldn’t see straight.

LSU Patrick•81 months

Butthurt gump

alumni95•81 months

Tiger brotherhood spans the years even though these 2 were never close to playing together here. Awesome to see that bond.

siliconvalleytiger•81 months

Nice to see RJF looking out for a fellow tiger. You can tell they have that bond

voodooidotwo•81 months

Blame that loss on the HC. 3 minutes left, 3 TO and he passed every play.

wesman21•81 months

I agree. Play calling was terrible down the stretch.

TampaTiger22•81 months

Lol always the head coach in football. Had nothing to do with Brady throwing for almost 150 yards in the 4th. When he threw for that amount in the first 3 qtrs. Jack going out and Dareus getting hurt also. It's the coach
