The rumblings started as soon as Leonard Fournette stepped off the scales at the NFL Combine in late February. All knew he was a big guy, but 241 pounds? That seemed a bit ... excessive. Too heavy, even.
Some of those worries were quieted when, with said frame, Fournette ran a 4.50 40-yard dash. Still, the possibility of an Eddie Lacy-like NFL downfall remained.
Not anymore.
At his Pro Day Wednesday, Fournette measured in at 6-0 and weighed 228 pounds -- 13 pounds less than his combine weight.
