Much was made in the twittershpere and bloggoverse yesterday about Fournette's comments. There were suggestions that he was admitting to some type of laziness or bad preparation of his own doing. 

I am simply asserting that the comments he made are only a matter of fact diagnosis of his poor conditioning due to injury. 

You can only get so much strength and conditioning work done with a torn hamstring.

Ummmmmmm, oftentimes a pulled hammie is the result of being out of shape to begin with.
Yawn...
He didn't pull it, he tore it.  It's a common injury.
All of the talk in July was how good he looked coming in to camp and during camp. 

From the times union: 

When training camp opens in three weeks, Leonard Fournette expects to report at the same weight he did during last month’s mandatory minicamp – 224 pounds.
That’s 11 pounds lighter than his playing weight last season as a rookie.
″I feel like I play my best at that weight – 223, 224 – that’s what I played in college,″ Fournette said. ″Why not? I don’t want to be average. I want to be above average, be the greatest one to play this game. I feel lighter, quicker and I have a lot of my burst.″

...
Fournette said he made a more concerted effort this offseason to get in better shape to possibly avoid injuries this upcoming season. He missed two games in 2017 because of ankle and thigh injuries.
