Jaguars' Leonard Fournette receiving rave reviews

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001...ve-reviews


Leonard Fournette appears to have gotten the message that this is a make-or-break season for him. After a disappointing 2018, the Jaguars running back said, "I had to change my mindset."

They can't be right because I have it on good authority that he's another Trent Richardson.

If the OL can stay healthy, I can't see why Fournette can't be productive given good health.

He looked really good last preseason too. I truly hope the light has gone on for him, but I think I have to see it in real games to believe it.

An understandable take.

Using him in the passing game should help. It gets him in the open field and in 1 on 1 or in space in a zone. He is good in space, he isn't good when he has to find the hole behind an OL.

I think everyone agrees that with a really good offensive line he will be good, but what RBs wouldn’t be? Good Oline=good running game. The criticism comes from the fact he was drafted #4 overall and cannot create for himself. He needs some sort of move, only move we have seen is a spin move then his ankle seems to give and we don’t see it anymore.

Just hope for the best I guess.

Spot on...

Still going to pick him up fairly early in a fantasy draft and hope.

I hope he tears the league up this year.

He was mic’d up at practice yesterday:

With Fournette more involved in the passing game, his touches (if he stays healthy) will approach 350 this season. That’s a lot of wear and tear.
