Leonard Fournette Won't Be Punished for Arrest, Says Jaguars HC Doug Marrone

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said Tuesday the organization isn't going to fine or suspend running back Leonard Fournette for his arrest last week related to an unpaid speeding ticket.

TMZ Sports noted Marrone explained he went through a similar experience while he was an assistant coach at Georgia Tech in the late 1990s. Fournette has since paid the necessary fines in Florida, and his Jags coach said it's just important he learns from the mistake and doesn't make it again.
