He averaged around 2 yards a carry in his college career against the closest thing he's seen to an NFL defense, so I'd pump the brakes just a bit.


In Fournette's defense, LSU has had a pretty suspect O-line for the last few years. RBs traditionally do not do well when they are constantly being hit in the backfield.

With that said, he has the talent to be a top back in the league, but before you can even put him in the same breath of an AP, DJ, Bell, Freeman... he needs to get some live touches in a live NFL game. All he is right now is a prospect with a high ceiling and large probability that he can be a 1200 yd/year type guy (in the right offense).
