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.
