WATCH: Leonard Fournette goes beast mode, challenges defender to hit him mid-run

Published:
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette is not afraid of contact.
The former LSU stud back doesn’t really look like a first-year player, either.
In Sunday’s game between the Jaguars and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Fournette waved on a big hit from a Steelers defender.
After stiff-arming one defender, he saw another one coming at him and basically said, “Bring it on.”

Moments after waving on the big hit, Fournette decided to take one 90 yards to the house.
This was the longest Jags rushing touchdown in regular season history:
