Leonard Fournette...We are truly witnessing greatness

I know how this sounds, but after hearing what Les Mile's said about LF's comments on his Syracuse touchdown that was called back I feel compelled to start a thread about it. We are truly witnessing greatness. I encourage everyone to see this young man play at least once before he begins his career in the NFL in '16 (just kidding). Let's take a look back at Mr. Fournette.
Was in the heart of the worst natural disater our state has ever faced.
Chose to spurn the evil empire to stay home, when almost all the big fish were going to Bama.
The most humble superstar that College Football has seen this generation. Giving all of his credit to his Oline and Fullback while others were running around doing money signs and stealing crab legs.
LF embodies everything that is great about LSU and College Football.
If by chance you see this Leonard- Thank you. Truly, thank you for being everything that LSU needed at the perfect time.
ETA: Miles was on College football live and was asked about LF's character. Miles responded (I'm paraphrasing)
He asked Leonard how he felt about his Touchdown being called back on the penalty (87 yarded vs SU) and Leonard responded, that wasn't my touchdown. That was LSU's touchdown.

I am counting the hours til 1230 local time here in the desert to watch (along with my 7yo son) LF7 run....it truly is a joy and an adrenaline shot to bear witness to his greatness and dominance so far.

Posted this in another thread:
It's rare enough to see a RB of Leonard Fournette's on-field talent and ability.
What truly makes him special is his character. The guy is straight class and humility.
It may sound cheesy, but I hope if I have a son one day, that he conducts himself like LF.
I really hope that he has the chance during or after his career to visit high school and little league teams to speak to them and teach them that class, sportsmanship, and dominating on the field are not mutually exclusive things.

I will say this... The transformation from last year to this year for Leonard is remarkable. Kudos to the entire coaching staff for helping this guy reach this potential!!

Idol worship? The man from all appearances has his head on straight, a sad exception to most who feel they know everything...

Leonard is the kind of person that makes those around him want to be better. LSU will be an even better team next year than they are at the end of this year. A true leader is the kind of person others look at and say, "I want to be like that person." That's when they follow and begin to emmulate that person's work ethic. It's going to be a special few years for the program, no doubt.

That is a great answer.
Could you provide a link to the video/transcript? I'd be interested to see that.

add...
Gave the POY award his senior year away to Eugene Wells who took his East Jefferson team to a state title.
Also saw a story on him in HS where he had to go speak to one of his rival HS for some reason or another. Result was that he was very respectful to the audience and humble about it and he likewise was very well received. Seemed like it was some leadership event or something.

Yes we are. As a season ticket holder, this year and next year will be historic.

First of all, the down voting, lurking, hiding behind a computer screen buncha sissy boy douche bags that down voted this - you know who you are - deserve a steel towed boot kick right square in the labias.
Second of all. Well, really don't have a second of all. Other than to say he really is as good as OP says. I like the the way OP put it - see him play while you can - as it refers to the fact that he is a "generational" type player. 'Bout one every 40/50 years like him.
I really hope his character is at least 50 pct as solid as purported. If it is, I feel like LSU will win an NC before he gets out of here.

Pretty sure Texas was more of a threat than bama was during his recruitment so all of this arguing is pretty pointless
