College Football's Most Freakish Athletes

Jalen Hurd #7, Leonard Fournette #3.


7. Jalen Hurd, RB, Tennessee
Class (size): Junior (6-4, 240)

At a massive size for his position, Hurd has nimble footwork and changes directions like a much smaller back when necessary. In the weight room, he can squat over 600 pounds. Then there is his speed, which he documented here via Instagram. After picking up 1,288 yards last year, he's the safest bet to lead the SEC East in rushing this fall.






3. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
Class (size): Junior (6-1, 230)

Fournette doesn't need to prove himself in the weight room or on a track to qualify as a freak athlete -- he only needs an audience on Saturdays. There isn't a more impressive combination of power (600-pound squat) and speed (4.35 40) at his position anywhere in the game. While this video illustration can't be called a 40-yard dash, it certainly proves he can fly for his size. If Fournette eclipses his freshman season total of 1,034 yards this fall, he'll have posted three of LSU's top 15 rushing seasons ever in his first three years at the school.
