WATCH: Leonard Fournette gets behind-the-scenes tour of Wimbledon

The Jacksonville Jaguars have played a game in London every year since 2012, part of the NFL’s plan to bring the game abroad.
Therefore, it’s only fair that one of the Jaguars’ biggest stars — former LSU RB Leonard Fournette — would get a chance to take in one of England’s most-iconic sporting events.
As you can see in the video below, Fournette got a special tour of Wimbledon on Monday:

The Jaguars will be in London in Week 8 for a showdown against the defending Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles, which will be one of the best games ever sent overseas to London.
There has been some speculation about the Jags moving from Jacksonville to London, but for now, fans in the UK will have to appreciate watching Fournette once a year.
