but as a football fan I have no choice.
I knew the power running was there
but the acceleration is stupid for a guy that size.

The only thing I've not see him do a lot of is catch out of the backfield. Maybe he does it on the reg, but I just haven't seen it yet.

He reminds me of a young Earl Campbell/Eddie George hybrid.

What's sad is he has great hands for a RB, they just don't utilize him in that way. They don't really utilize any RB in that way.

This is a great analogy. Complete game-changer type of back. I thought the era of shutdown HBs was over thanks to the spread O. Glad to see I was wrong.

He did vs Ole Miss last year. We just didn't throw it enough last night. I know they tried to set up a screen for Williams that failed miserably, I don't think they tried it with Fournette.

His acceleration on that second TD run was ridiculous. But my favorite play was probably when he got caught in the backfield and he spun out of two tackles and picked up 4-5 yards. It's crazy to be that big and quick.

His hands are great, we could line him up at WR if we wanted to


He's a monster. He's so big and so fast and those moves

He's already a beast, but he's yet to hit his age when he really fills out a frame.

My only watchout would be he gets stupid large and loses a little bit of his burst.


Heisman finalst to be sure, at the least.

They tried a middle screen to Fournette early in the game. Miss St was flagged for defensive holding.

He's a fantastic receiver, we just only throw it 10 times a game

TBH he's already 20 and 6'1" 230lbs. I don't think he'll grow too much more.

He looks much less bulky this year than last. He lost some weight and put on some muscle.

The story I heard this Summer during conditioning was that the running backs ran 14 120 yard timed "gassers". Leonard ran his last one in better time than his first and looked like he could run 14 more.

He's just a very rare breed.
