Video: Fantastic behind-the-scenes look at Leonard Fournette’s NFL Draft experience

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected RB Leonard Fournette fourth overall on Thursday night after his record-setting career at LSU.
The Jags made a lifelong dream come true for Fournette, and this video produced by the team shows exactly what it’s like to hear your name called on draft day.
While at LSU, Leonard Fournette was known as a doting father to his daughter Lyric, and the most heartwarming part of this whole experience was watching the big 6-foot-1, 240-pound back share it with her.
After a 2016 season that was hampered by injuries and failed expectations, this video serves as a bit of a happy ending to the year for Fournette. Though his NFL career has just begun, the New Orleans native that survived Hurricane Katrina and a rough upbringing can now give his daughter a better life with his NFL bonus money.
