Leonard Fournette is one of the most confident rookies in NFL history, and he further proved that on Sunday against the Steelers.
Leonard Fournette waved at a Steelers defender to come tackle him
I personally wouldn’t want to be Mike Mitchell.
Fournette stiff-armed one Steelers defender before waving at Mike Mitchell to bring his best shot at him.
Fournette would later close out the game with a 90-yard rushing touchdown. He had himself a game.
Fournette finished the game with 181 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries.
He’s been quite honest about how he feels about the game since he got to the NFL.
“It’s a lot slower than I really thought,” Fournette said after Jacksonville’s 31-24 preseason win over New England in August. “That’s how I’ve been since I first got into the NFL. A lot of people were like, ‘It’s going to be fast.’ But by me playing in the SEC that kind of helped me a lot. I think to me it was really easy.”
Anonymous sources questioned Fournette’s passion coming into the NFL, which is laughable at best when you watch him run. That’s a man who wants to get in the end zone each time he touches the rock.
