Of The Four TopRB recruits in the SEC for 2014 "In my 23 years, he's unquestionably the best I've seen at running back," said Mitch Small, the marketing director for the Louisiana High School Athletic Association. "I've seen Kevin Faulk, Cecil Collins, Warrick Dunn, Travis Minor, who people forget was the national high school player of the year....... "He's head and shoulders above those guys." Also intrigued was Peterson, the NFL's reigning Most Valuable Player. Upon hearing about the Louisiana kid who was being favorably compared to him, Peterson sat down recently at the Vikings' training facility to watch YouTube videos of Fournette. The first word out of the Minnesota Vikings' All-Pro running back's mouth: "Wow." One major college coach who has recruited the New Orleans area for decades insisted Fournette is talented enough to play for the Saints right now. In fact, he said Fournette was better than any back on the Saints' roster, which incudes Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram." "He's the kind of back you only see every 15-20 years. 6'2, 225, and runs like a deer. He will run over a MLB or cut it outside and outrun a corner. What truly separates him from other elite backs is his vision. He sees things before they happen and reacts. He has all the tools that can't be coached and understands how to be a leader. He will win a lot of games for LSU and whichever team drafts him in 3 years."
