I think Jim Brown. He was about the same size, was fast, and was able to accelerate, then able to bowl people over or spin and run away from them. He should have won the Heisman.

Obviously, can't go wrong with either. Fournette also seems like a pretty humble kid, so I'll go with Ernie there, too. Ernie, after getting tackled, would famously often help the defender up and say "Nice tackle." Unbelievable human being. Unbelievable tragedy.

Fournette is more likely to slow down to run over a defender like Brown would. Ernie would more likely try to avoid contact an flat out run them.
