It doesn’t hurt that he’s just about as fast the fastest running backs coming out as well. The 6’1″, 230-pound, blazing fast Fournette is ready to go to Jacksonville and excel immediately. Bortles would then have the aforementioned eight-man boxes and man coverage.

The running game would go well with the solid defense the Jaguars have built recently as well. Getting Bortles on track is the key here and Fournette could help a lot in that department. The Jaguars just might make some noise in the AFC South in 2017.

There has been a lot of talk since the season over who the best RB of this deep class is. And to a person, it has been split between Leonard Fournette and Dalvin Cook. Either one of them would draw eight-man boxes to give QB Blake Bortles man coverage to throw on.

But I’m going to break the tie with Fournette because he’s more physical than Cook. Fournette can make you miss when he wants to but he prefers to run guys over. From what I hear, Jack Coughlin is going to have some pull over there and he likes big physical backs.
