Leonard Fournette: Miles ‘can’t possibly imagine’ Fournette sits
I know, I just threw a lot of numbers at you, allow me to sum it all up-Leonard Fournette is the freakin’ Truth.
“To me, there’s a lot of people out there stirring the pot”, he said. Let’s make controversy. Why not? The sophomore has already amassed 631 yards & eight touchdowns.
The Tigers have looked like contenders to win the SEC title thus far, as running back Leonard Fournette has emerged as the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. “I just can’t possibly imagine it”. What if he has a financial position that offsets injury?
During a conference call on Monday, ahead of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson offered a few perspective when looking back at his own situation. I mean my goodness. And when anyone suggests that the players should make business decisions, those within the cocoon break out the clichés and the T-shirt slogans in order to persuade them not to think about the only team that really matters – their families.
Leonard Fournette is easily the biggest name in college football right now. “I’m drowning with my brothers”. The former Ohio State star unsuccessfully attempted to enter the 2004 draft after being dismissed from the Buckeyes program. Yet it’s still a past case worth paying attention to. Becoming a pro athlete and handling all that goes with it at his age would be a considerable challenge beyond the gridiron. After another 200-yard performance Saturday against Syracuse, Fournette separated himself from the pack as the clear Heisman frontrunner, so now the only question left is where will he be going in the NFL Draft? Fournette has made it clear, however, that he feels another year in college would do him well in terms of mental preparation for the NFL. The discussion will then revolve around how high he’ll go.
