Leonard Fournette. 11. player. 15. Running back prospect Leonard Fournette hasn’t looked so great lately so he fell out of the top 10. But his freaky combination of speed and power at 6’1″, 230 pounds, will win out before too long. Fournette has the vision to find creases and hits them with ferocity. <p>He has excellent lateral quickness and the ability to make a man miss when he wants to. But Fournette seems to want contact and to run right through a defender that comes up to tackle him. I’m hoping that he chooses to hit the juke button more in the NFL.</p> <p>Trying to run everyone over usually leads to a short career but there will be times to do that. But however he chooses to make past defenders, there will be no catching him once he gets out ahead. I expect to see something freaky in the 4.3s at the combine next spring.</p> <p>The New Orleans Saints, who have current RB Mark Ingram in the doghouse a lot, can use him. The defense will be much better with Sheldon Rankins and Hau’Oli Kikaha coming back. Plus a strong running game is a deodorant for a lot of things in the NFL.</p>. RB. LSU
