Former LSU running back Leonard Fournette was the hot topic of conversation the entire 2015 college football season. Fournette rushed the ball 300 times, averaging 6.5 yards per carry, for a net total of 1,953 yards on the ground and totaled 22 touchdowns.
He was already being compared to some of the all-time greats like Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, Ricky Williams, Adrian Peterson and others. Fournette was the easy choice for the Heisman in 2015 up until some late season struggles and the emergence of Derrick Henry and Christian McCaffery.
Once the 2015 season was over, most said the Fournette had nothing left to prove on the field and should have just sat out the entire 2016 college football season and prepared for the Draft.
