Leonard Fournette will not play in LSU's bowl game. Will focus on pre-draft process.

I get it... you think scouts give him a knock for that though?

I think it could....that's a me first move and I think there are those out there that don't like players with a "I" over team mentality.

This is my dark horse for the Niners if they decide to trade down.

It's not a good look but teams also saw what happened to Jaylon Smith or Willis McGahee all those years ago. It can be seen as what you describe but it can also be seen as "this guy knows what's important"

He's not getting paid to play at LSU. He hasn't exactly been 100% this season anyways and sitting this game out is best for his future and his family's future.

A bad injury could ruin his future in the NFL or severely handicap it. If he's playing in the NFL he's already got at least some guaranteed money. NFL teams will understand the situation.

No thanks. Zeke Elliott is killing it because he has the best OL in football. A really good, often injured RB is not going to turn this team around, imo. A good OL will get good production from any RB, and we already have a good RB. We need better WRs and a QB to make this offense better.
If we were to trade back and he is there I would look to trade back again. We don't need him. Hyde is great when healthy. Some team will overpay to move up to take him.
Personally I think Foreman will be the better running back at the next level. I love Fournette but I think he's taken quite the pounding. Plus Foreman has good size too. Idk something about Foreman screams stud

Call me crazy, but if Garrett is picked #1, I am not opposed to trading back for Leonard Fournette. This guy looks to be the next Adrian Peterson. Hyde can't stay healthy and this is a two back league.
Come on, man. You can't knock one guy for not being able to stay healthy and then propose another guy that's already started to accumulate injuries and has a running style that is conducive to staying hurt in the NFL.

LF should thank Elliot for bringing attention to the RB position at the top of the 1st round. LF will be a top 5-10 pick in this upcoming draft because of Zeke's production O-Line or not!
I don't care if missing the BOWL games is wrong, or unjustice, but did you all see what had happened to Jaylon from last year??

I would only play really if this was the BCS Playoffs..
