RB Leonard Fournette

I have never actually watched another running back who played like Bo. He was a truly jaw dropping sight in full flow. Just the total package.

*going to YouTube to rewatch some Bo videos now

Wouldn't mind having Fournette on a niner uniform next year.. with Hyde's injuries and contract coming up Fournette would be a nice RB to have.

he has stiff hips, hes going to get hit a lot in the nfl. big rbs rarely do well, cook is a guy to look at.

He has better hips than Adrian Peterson and a number of other RB's who have been successful in the NFL. For a big guy, his lateral quickness is impressive. He's nothing like Derrick Henry whose burst/quickness is a major concern.

His 10.68 100 meter dash and 6.55 55 meter dash times in high school are impressive too (both compare favorably to Gurley's times) especially given Fournette was about the same size in high school as he is today (listed at 225 then, 230 now).

This is an interesting report for those of you who follow Daniel Jeremiah:

This is who we need to be successful on offense, we are not built to throw the ball so why not get better at running the ball?

Rookie QB will take time to develop, so why not build a powerful running game so that when we do insert a rookie QB he has something to work with?

We can grab WR's in free agency or later rounds for now. Not like we will be using them anyway...

My draft crush.....

I would not be mad at all if we draft him at #2 even with Hyde on the roster. Garrett is my draft crush, but I'd also be happy with Fournette, Peppers, or one of the QB's.

That happens when you don't have a QB.

Draft day " Yessssssssssss, we just won the drafts, our run game will open up the pass game".

Week 3 "Screw this GM, screw this coach, screw Jed. Until Jed sells this team will suck. Bring back the WCO and Eddie D and draft 7 receivers next year that are all 6"4 or bigger."

3rd quarter he just stiff armed the one guy who had a shot at touching him. 78 yard score. 250+ yards and they are not even feeding it to him

Dude is a f**king BEAST

10 for 251 and 3 tds through 3 qtrs

him and garrett are the two best players. f**k watson, that loser.

He has Jeremy Hill's size and power with 4.45 speed. Fournette is listed at 6'1 236 and looks about that size which is huge for a RB. He has one of the best combinations of size and speed at the position ever.

Bo Jackson was 6'1 222 entering the draft and could probably have run around a 4.35. His hand-timed 4.12 40 is nonsense, but he ran a 10.44 second 100 meter dash in high school and 10.39 in college compared to Fournette's 10.68 10 meter dash time in high school.

Watch the Colts get him
