Wow! Leonard Fournette won't play Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl

[Sgt Brutus]

Fournette won't play bowl, ends LSU career

Calling it "best for my future," Leonard Fournetteannounced Friday that he will not play in LSU's bowl game against Louisville, ending his college football career.

Lame.

In another news, I was shocked to hear that both Nick Chubb and Sony Michel will be returning for their senior season. Don't know why. We've got a great recruiting class coming in including some highly ranked O-line pieces, but they'll be freshmen, and next season will probably be another long one for the Georgia run game.

Bye #7 Thanks for your time.

Don.t let the door hit you in your ass on the way out.

 

[The Derski]

Unless the Packers draft this kid it's going to be very hard to root for him at the next level.

LSU is on their way back to being the program they were before Saban.

AD is an idiot. Hope he gets a raise.

Jaylon Smith just last year. I don't blame Fournette one bit

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Way to show heart kid, thank god my NFL team isn't in the market for a RB

 

[Clayton]

Speaks volumes for requiring players to play in college in the first place. Cant say I blame him at all.

There is no requirement that players play in college.

Sometimes it's better to show intelligence rather than heart. The Citrus Bowl is pretty much all risk and no reward for him

Spot on.

And people complain that we don't have enough teams in a playoff, yet argue out of the side of their mouth that players need to play less games to keep them safe for their professional career.

Which is it?

 

[redseat]

what is his draft stock currently?

 

[Clayton]

There is no requirement that players play in college.

You're being a bit literal. He proved everything he needed to after 2015.

 

[Clayton]

Thats a ridiculous opinion.

Love me some Leonard, but his final year reminds me of Jadeveon Clowney.

He'll get drafted high, but is that player more interested in playing hard and playing football, or more about money and staying as healthy as he can be so he can earn as much money as possible?

IF I were an NFL exec, I'd pass on #7 even as a fan of his skills.

 

[HuskerOC]

Thats a ridiculous opinion.

Thanks.

I thought yours was completely stupid.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I see both sides on this one.

Perfect guy to enter the discussion.

You're the Raiders. About the only thing really missing is a RB in your offense.

Do you take Fournette in the 1st round if available? Do you move up to get him like Dallas did for Zeke last year?

I would take him on the Chiefs and RB probably isnt a top 3 need.

The 2 differences between him and Clowney is that

1) Clowney was legitimately challenged by Khalil Mack and Fournette should be the clear #1 RB.
2) RB just isnt as valuable as an edge rusher

But definitely a 1st round pick.

No. Here's why......we don't need to spend our first rounder on a RB. We need to spend it on a defender, either a CB, DL or a S. Murray is a decent RB and we have Washington and Richard who are nice scatback types.
