Based on performance in the exact same offense as the other 2.
Fournette has the physical makeup, but his vision and lateral movement has yet to evolve, as others have said. Will it come? I hope with more reps and experience, but who knows.

Fournette isn't even on Jeremy Hill or Steven Ridley's level yet.
You're comparing him to a guy who did not even play his freshman year in college.

I've never seen lateral quickness and vision come. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see it.

He had less than 200 carries in an archaic offense with inconsistent OL play and run by a moron coach.
This thread is silly.

LF is way better than Ridley.

Vision can be improved. Lateral quickness isn't necessarily needed. Adrian Peterson lacks lateral quickness.

His sophomore year is going to be disgusting.

Good comparison and the player Fournette most physically resembles.

And it's not even vision that LF needs to work on... He has fine vision.
He needs to work on being a patient runner more than anything and let his OL set up the blocks for him. He was so used to just going wherever he wanted to in high school. Now he can't do that and needs to just be more patient and allow his OL to get to their blocks. It'll be a lot easier for him.
He did a much better job of that during the back end of the season.
And having some type of passing attack would help as well. Obviously.

Yeah. Apparently, a legit question turns into a troll if a bunch of biased LSU fans answer a certain way.

He just broke the freshman record for rushing yards in a season.
