Leonard Fournette


Fournette was injured and opted to heal. McCaffery was a healthy scratch. So McCaffery was the first to opt out voluntarily

Allegedly? Are you talking about a separate incident? Because he DEFINITELY killed 5 hookers while at SMU.


What's worse? What James did or May Mark blowing 5 guys while at Pitt?

Didn’t some other RB blow his knee up in a bowl game? Lattimore from South Carolina?


Lattimore’s injury was in the regular season. He also had multiple injuries on the same knee.

Todd Ghurley blew out his knee on mid Nov and was the 10 pick in the April draft.

The injury risk is grossly overrated and frankly I think just an excuse. Every one that has opted out would have played if their team was in the playoffs and the risk of injury is the same (ask J Williamson and Metchie). It speaks to how the bowls are nothing but the exhibitions they started as as.
