Entering this season, LF had rushed 1,132 times for 4,478 yards = 3.96 ypc

So far this season in very limited duty he has 9 rushes for exactly 36 yards.

So he’s at 1,141 for 4,514 = 3.96 ypc

Just give it to him every play and he’ll get you first downs every third play.

They must be ‘grillz’ or something.

He put on too much weight.

That's not how it works, he would be lucky to average 1.1 the rest of career.

If you need 3 yards, LF will get you 4.

If you need 6 yards, LF will get you 4

Joseph Addai played 6 season and had 1095 carries for 4,453.
Almost mirror images. Fournette has 312 receptions for 2.219 yards so he does have lots of yards from scrimmage.

LF was only ever as good as his Oline. While you can say that for most rb's the great ones can make something out of nothing. LF was never great.

I disagree. Dude was a legit feature back.

I do agree, though, with the prior poster that his weight battles have negatively impacted his career.

He was a great college back who did not have the desire to be a great NFL back. He wasn’t as dedicated as he needed to be. But he was the bast back in college - better than Henry back then.

Henry has a Heisman. Fournette does not. But don't let bias get in the way of a narrative.

I have no idea why Leonard Fournette gets the amount of hate that he does on this board
