How many RB's in the NFL are better (more talented) than Leonard Fournette?

I think that's exactly what you're saying.

Not necessarily the same thing. Assuming by "talent" you mean athleticism. Speed and explosiveness relative to size and strength. Probably very few in that regard. Todd Gurley, Latavius Murray, Tevin Coleman, Derrick Henry are a few guys that come to mind that are big and fast.
Better? That remains to be seen. Trent Richardson won a powerlifting title in the 219 class and finished 5th in the 100m dash in Florida 5A. Illustrious college career, you know the rest. Talent doesn't always equal success in the NFL.

It makes no freaking sense to compare college players to NFL players.
You have no idea how he'll adjust to the greater level of play/competition at the next level.
Look at Trent Richardson.

for someone saying this, you sure are making it hard to believe. and why are you so mad?
the fact is you just don't know how someone is going to adjust to the NFL from College, and to act like it is a certainty that Fournette is the next coming of Dickerson is laughable and terribly naive

There's no such thing as a bust proof prospect. No one here has any idea exactly how any of these players careers will play out.

Your question will be impossible to answer for at least a year

it's hard to know for sure. I think he will be successful but everyone thought Trent Richardson was one of the surest great RB picks in draft history. He was the next AP before LF7. Fournette has some of the same characteristics that plagued Trent, but LF7 has his off the field stuff in better order it seems.
It's hard to know for sure but I wouldn't take any tailback in the first round, ever, if I were a GM.

every single one since he hasn't proven he can be any good yet
speculation is odds are good he can be a top 10 caliber RB if that is your question

Good O-line is more important for running game in NFL.
Posted on 2/17/17 at 2:59 pm to Rohan Gravy
None. He is more physically gifted than any running back currently playing in the NFL. That doesn't necessarily mean he will be as successful as them though. A lot of things can negatively affect his level of success.

OP, Guice will be a better RB than LF.

All of them. They are in the NFL, and contrary to what the saints put on the field yearly, there's a reason they are in the NFL. They are the best of the best. The most elite athletes around.
