The Jacksonville Jaguars spent the fourth overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft on a running back in an era where passing wins football games in the NFL.
Thankfully, former LSU star Leonard Fournette has played like the transcendent star many expected him to be over the course of the first six games.
In spite of the unprecedented defensive fronts he’s been facing, Fournette has thrived and carried the Jacksonville offense without much help from the quarterback position.
In a year where rookie running backs are dominating, Fournette is impossible to ignore.
Former Jaguar legend Maurice Jones-Drew sorted through all the rookie running backs, and shockingly he had Fournette 3rd in a list of guys he’d want long-term.
