Former LSU star Leonard Fournette found out his Madden ’19 ratings recently, and it’s safe to say he’s not happy about it.
Overall, Fournette — who now plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars — was rated as an 87, with his speed coming in at 91. Since he was the fastest running back in the NFL by many metrics last season, he was understandably upset.
As you can see in the tweet below, Fournette didn’t feel like sending evidence to EA SPORTS, instead asking to be taken off the game:

In only 13 games as a rookie last season, Fournette ran for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns, adding 302 yards and a touchdown as a receiver.
Perhaps the Madden folks will give him a bump to make him happy, but for now, he’s not a happy camper.
