RB. LSU. Leonard Fournette. 4. player. 52. He isn’t the most skilled RB of this deep class but at 6’1″ 240 pounds, Leonard Fournette is the most gifted. That 240 pounds is a little heavy him so he disappointed with a 4.5 40 at the combine. He didn’t play at 240 in college and showed plenty of breakaway speed then. <p>At 230 pounds, his combination of speed and power got him compared to Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker. The way he runs over defensive backs and barely breaks stride is reminiscent of them. Tom Coughlin is in charge of personnel now and Fournette is his kind of guy.</p><div class=

He had Fred Taylor pounding the rock last time he was in Jacksonville and Brandon Jacobs in New York. The Jaguars have already built a heck of a defense and improved the O-line over there. So a physical RB like Fournette would definitely help the team take a step up.

The running game would help to QB Blake Bortles make better decisions with the football too. He wouldn’t feel like he had to do something spectacular for the team to win a game. The Jaguars have to stop all this losing some time and 2017 just might be the year.
