Those who said Leonard Fournette would be a bust in the NFL couldn’t be more wrong — at least through the first six games of the season.
The former LSU and current Jacksonville Jaguars running back has been a star thus far.
On Sunday, he had a 75-yard touchdown run on his first carry of the game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Fournette has had at least one touchdown in every game this season. He joins Robert Edwards (1998) as the only rookies to score a TD in each of their team’s first six games of a season, according to a tweet from ESPN Stats & Info.
At the time of this post, the Jags were trailing the Rams 17-14 in the second quarter. Fournette had seven carries for 97 yards to go along with the score.
Fournette had 466 rushing yards on the season coming into Sunday’s game.
