Im not going to lie, I never really have felt like he has had a dominant season anywhere in the NFL. Sure he has been very good but I'm not putting him in the elite class of running backs.
To put this into perspective, LF has averaged 4.0 Y/A rushing in his NFL career. Adrian Peterson averaged 4.7 Y/A in his 13 years of being in the league and even averaged 4.3 Y/A last season (which is the highest LF has had). I think LF is a generational talent but the league is a business and he's just too expensive to not have the numbers.

The type of running back Fournette is doesn't mesh with today's game. He's too big and doesn't have the agility for a modern offense.
Change of direction speed (agility), burst, and vision are needed.
Straight line speed and size/power are less important for success in the NFL.
That's why I still wonder why people put such stock into 40 times. 3 cone drill and a 20 yard dash tell a lot more about a players potential.
