HOUSTON -- Leonard Fournette was considered the top running back of the 2017 draft, and he went No. 4 to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Experts believed the LSU star, who will run against the surging Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium, had the size, power and speed to be the type of every-down back Ezekiel Elliott is for Dallas.
Christian McCaffrey, taken No. 8 by the Panthers? He was considered more of a situational-type player, perhaps a third-down back because of his skill set as a receiver.
