I think that's exactly what you're saying.

Actually not....
I think first two pics should be DE and LB.
I just don't understand the lack of respect for his talent....
Leonard Fournette is a very special talent!

Not necessarily the same thing. Assuming by "talent" you mean athleticism. Speed and explosiveness relative to size and strength. Probably very few in that regard. Todd Gurley, Latavius Murray, Tevin Coleman, Derrick Henry are a few guys that come to mind that are big and fast.

Better? That remains to be seen. Trent Richardson won a powerlifting title in the 219 class and finished 5th in the 100m dash in Florida 5A. Illustrious college career, you know the rest. Talent doesn't always equal success in the NFL.

So ....you wouldn't take Leonard Fournette over your three on the same teams?

Trent Richardson???? Really!
Todd Gurley is the only one close in your other category

It makes no freaking sense to compare college players to NFL players.

You have no idea how he'll adjust to the greater level of play/competition at the next level.
Look at Trent Richardson.

Richardson was an athletic freak.

And you're ignorant. Murray ran a 4.38 at 6'2" 223 at the combine. Henry ran a 4.54 at 6'3" 247 and had a 37" vertical. David Johnson ran a 4.50 at 6'1" 224 with a 41.5" vertical. Elliot ran a 4.47 at 225. There are plenty of athletic freaks running the ball in the NFL.


As far as backs I'd take over Fournette there are plenty. There are a lot of guys that we know can run the ball effectively in the league, Leonard is just potential at this point.

To list McCoy, Demarco Murray, and Zeke as the only three better backs in the league is laughable. Hysterically laughable. Kid doesn't have one carry in the NFL

That's putting him ahead of the Todd Gurleys, David Johnsons, and Leveon Bells of the world. I find that comical. Then again I've seen Leonard in person 3 times and he never did much, so perhaps I'm biased

Exactly my point ....
Leonard Fournette will adjust and his talent will translate to the NFL....
Only thing stopping would be an injury or the Cleveland Browns! :)

Ok....I'm sorry....
I guess what I'm trying to say is, in my humble opinion, Leonard Fournette will not be a bust (like several Alabama RB's)
Leonard Fournette is a special athlete...
