re: Anyone surprised Derrick Henry turned out to be way better than Fournette in the NFL?

Fournette's running style crushed it in high school and his overall strength made him great in college. His hips look too stiff and he's always looking to truck the guy in front of him instead of finding the best route to gain yardage. That carried into the NFL. At some point those hits add up.

Fournette was outrageously overrated

This is such a dumb take and a dumb thread. In a league where the position is dying, Fournette has run for just under 4500 yards (79 games) with 4 YPC and 34 TDs. Not to mention over 2200 receiving yards and another 7 TDs

Keep in mind he was a big part of a Super Bowl winning team in Tampa and was the workhorse on some shitty Jags teams. Henry is the better back but let’s not act like LF is/was overrated. He broke a ton of LSU rushing records, ran for almost 4,000 yards in 32 career games with 40+ TDs on mediocre LSU teams where everyone knew he was getting the ball on damn near every play. LSU fans can be negative about the dumbest shite but Fournette slander on this board is outrageous
