Leonard Fournette has been the primary source of LSU’s offense since the tail end of his freshman season, but his recent moves reportedly have NFL executives questioning his motives.

In the most recent edition of the MMQB, Albert Breer shares a tidbit on Fournette’s perception in NFL circles ahead of the NFL Draft.

One question that’s faced LSU RB Leonard Fournette concerns his passion for football. And there’s a widespread feeling he’s driven by stardom. My guess is Jacksonville’s Tom Coughlin and Doug Marrone would address that quickly.

Though it’s impossible to tell what NFL executives actually told Breer, or how many people of them spoke, it would be hard to see how his play on the field led them to that conclusion. Fournette battled through an injury-plagued 2016 campaign where he rarely looked fully healthy.

While at LSU, Fournette’s passion for the game was unquestioned until he elected to sit out for the Citrus Bowl, citing injury concerns. According to Fournette, the absence wasn’t his call and he ultimately deferred to LSU coach Ed Orgeron on the decision.

Probably the most troubling bit for Fournette fans is the notion that he is driven by stardom. Players like that rarely succeed long term, especially at the running back position.

Primary decision-makers for NFL teams get paid lots of money to make the right decision and better the franchise, and although I certainly don’t think that Fournette’s passion for the game is an issue, it’s their job to do so. It’s always on the line.
