In looking a the 2017 NFL Draft, there are a handful of running backs that could put up a fight against Leonard Fournette’s potential dominance. Not least of which are Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, and Joe Mixon.
While the Jacksonville Jaguars simply want Fournette to balance the offense, those of us watching the broader NFL know that all four of those running backs will be compared against each other going forward. Fournette could be the generational talent among them, but that doesn’t mean he will beat them out immediately (or that there are any guarantees in the NFL).
