Leonard Fournette reminds me a lot of....

Shaun Alexander with the mix of power and speed. This is just one man's opinion though. What do you guys think?

You know, now that you mention it, I agree.

I was watching some of his highlights and how he runs through tackles and makes separation, it seemed very similar to what Alexander did.

Adrian Peterson

 

I agree with that as well.

He reminds me of a football God. Ha ha, he is super good! It is a shame the RB position in the NFL is losing value. Hopefully this young man makes RB an extremely valuable position again!

Adrian Peterson

 

Reminds me a lot of him at Oklahoma.

Im more Peterson than Alexander

Alexander was a great, great receiver out of the backfield. No evidence so far that Fournette can do that. He may not have needed to so far, but anyway.

Good observation!

 

The running back position is devalued because of the very short shelf life running backs in the NFL have. More and more general managers in the league treat running backs as a dime a dozen commodity.

Valid point. I'm not sure we will have to see that side of Fournette at all this year. But if he has the dimension as well.... My goodness!

Lesser version of AP.

He averages 4.9 YPC AFTER first contact.

Herschel Walker...

Beast Mode. He just runs right through so many tackles.
