That's 5 pounds over what he was listed to start the season in 2016. An athlete can easily lose 5 pounds in water weight with only a couple of days.


Exactly. I refuse to believe a guy like LF ( strong character)would let himself go a month before reaching his dream. Ankle injury or not.

At least you admit that you are refusing to believe it.

Last year, Fournette was out of shape during the Spring.

quote:

Leonard Fournette responded to LSU coach Les Miles determination that his star tailback needs to lose 10 pounds in a Twitter post Friday.

"I lost that weight for you big man," was Fournette's response.

In a radio interview Thursday, Miles said Fournette "was 235 to 233 (pounds) or so during spring; we want him right around 225 so his strength and speed are maximized. He's an elite guy and he wants to be an elite body as he goes into fall. Certainly this summer will provide him with that opportunity."
