2014 Leonard Fournette - report states he does not have explosive speed

Leonard Fournette, New Orleans St. Augustine: The rising junior was impressive at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge and the LSU camp. He is a North-South runner who can take a pounding since he's 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds. But Fournette has also proven to be a surprising resource catching passes out of the backfield. The 2014 prospect does not have explosive speed, but that could be developed in the coming years.
I always understood Fournette had Speed and power. What’s up with that?

Someone from Alabama's site wrote it after he decided to stay at LSU's camp

I bet they call Quinn a great route runner with sure hands.

He may not be a 4.4 guy but he's PLENTY fast enough. Especially college. And he isn't even fully developed yet...

Perfect LSU back.

Because he's from Louisiana. If Fournette played in the Northeast, Sports Shitistrated would have him as the greatest since Jim Brown....

Les is meddling again.

I will sound like an idiot to some people, but speed is not the most important trait in RBs (definitely an important facet, but not the most important). I would say durability, vision and agility are more vital to the position.

lolwut? In every highlight I've seen, he pulls away from everyone on the field.

how many 225 pound RBs have explosive speed?
Posted on 8/3/12 at 11:19 pm to bdnc
the report is accurate

I've seen him run..... he has some boosters.
These rivals camps are starting to get recockulous.

This is so bogus! I personally watched him run away from Derrick Raymond, who is just crazy fast.

Charles Scott and Steven Ridley lacked that speed as well. Hilliard and Ware don't have it. That's one on the issues with big physical backs that are north south runners. That kind of explosiveness is rare. Miles wants his backs eating up yards and pounding on defenses. In a Les Miles offense 4.4 speed with explosiveness is not needed. 4.6 speed with unbelievable power is what's needed.
