When the Jacksonville Jaguars drafted Leonard Fournette, they envisioned him as the bell cow back the team had missed since Maurice Jones-Drew was in his prime. The second-year player from LSU rushed for 1,040 yards over 13 games and scored 10 touchdowns during the regular season. It was a solid season by Fournette, who should have a better season in 2018 with an improved offensive line.
Just like other running backs selected in the top five of the NFL Draft, Fournette needs a better showing in 2018 if he is to be considered an elite talent and one of the most fearing rushers in the NFL.
