Overweight and on a bum ankle he clocked in at 22.9 mph on a run vs ole miss this year. Faster than anyone recorded with the ball in the NFL the past 2 years

Lsuchs•109 months

Next fastest time was Xavier Rhodes (CB) at 22.4 on a pic six for the Vikings.

I know it was on sports science but I just don't believe that. OBJ had a few long runs that burned everyone. And not just OBJ but other super fast guys taking kickoffs and punts back for TDs, no way Fournette was faster than all of them

Lsuchs•109 months

Yeah I tend to agree. But I will say i believe it was just one specific moment in his run, coming out of that burst/cut upfield. His full stride to the endzone wasn't holding near that. That burst was nasty... I could see that moment being as fast as player has moved recently.

Meh... That's one good BM away from being 235.

BIWO•109 months

Watch him still crush the 40

PeteRose•109 months

Under or over 4.43?

CaliTigerHB•109 months

Over. In the 4.5s

CaliTigerHB•109 months

Maybe even in the 4.6s

He just can't help putting on muscle. In the end he probably could have been just as good of a linebacker

burke985•109 months

I can take a 5 pound shite

Lilpickles•109 months

He will own an island....

TriDitty•109 months

He's very tall for a RB. As long as he is in shape he should even more impressive at 240 with his frame.

Jesus Christ

theCrusher•109 months

ploy to get drafted to a good team. the money is all in the second contract so why risk going to a crappy team. it's better to fall into the second half of the first round.

Lsu101205•109 months

Although technically logical... Just no....

airfernando•109 months

has anyone considered LF may be sabotaging his draft position he doesn't go to one of the early crappy teams?

CarterWilson717•109 months

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this.

Lexman1•109 months

Maybe he's bulking up to play linebacker instead. Lol You know LF7 can play anywhere and be successful! He's a beast!

Dupree4free•109 months

I can easily fluctuate 5 lbs from one day to the next, not a big deal IMO I'm sure it's muscle

BackWoodsTiger•109 months

If he sits around a 4.4, the weight won't mean anything.

Goldrush25•109 months

If he runs a 4.4 at 240 lbs, his stock will rise if anything.

CaliTigerHB•109 months

He runs a 4.4 at 240 he might go number 1 overall

Balloon Huffer•109 months

well, pretty sure my previous comments are now justified. 4.51 is not fast for a RB. So now he is just really big, and fast(for his size),,,, not just fast. He should have been at 225. Not 240. Again, to me, this shows a lack of maturity.

Aconant10•109 months

IMO this is a good thing, especially after he proves to be the fastest back in the draft as well.

KosmoCramer•109 months

It's funny that you really believe this.

KosmoCramer•109 months

4.51

TigerSpray•109 months

Is the extra pounds beef or pork?

flyAU•109 months

Goodbread? What kind of name is that?

Signal Soldier•109 months

He wants to be the new Fat Eddie

mule74•109 months

I'm very surprised at this. He definitely fluctuated between 225-240 at LSU. He was his best when he was lean. I can't imagine showing heavy part of the plan for he and his agent.

ShlikStyck•109 months

question is, did it look like he had that gut he had when he was hurt last year? And second, is he still too banged up to run his best 40 time?

BatonRougeBuckeye•109 months

Agreed. Won't be a big deal if he runs fast. If he's slower than expected then who knows.
