Leonard Fournette Will Declare For NFL Draft After Bowl Game

LSU running back Leonard Fournette announced Monday that he will enter the 2017 NFL Draft. He made his decision and thanked LSU fans with this letter:

Fournette began the 2016 season as a favorite for the Heisman Trophy but a lingering ankle injury caused him to miss four games this year. He finished the regular season with 843 yards on 123 carries and eight touchdowns.

ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has Fournette as the No. 2 prospect on his big board.
