Leonard Fournette is quite an impressive athlete. Though his combine vertical didn’t wow anyone, he showed off his hops in a major way Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. On fourth-and-goal from the two-yard line, Fournette went vertical, flying over the entire defense to score a touchdown.

Fournette covered four yards on that incredible leap. When you consider Fournette can also do things like this, he’s quite the specimen.
We also have to give Doug Marrone credit for sacking up and going for it there.
This score capped off an impressive first drive for the Jacksonville Jaguars. In particular, Blake Bortles was sharp. He completed 3-of-4 passes for 53 yards on the eight-play, 66-yard drive, which put the Jags up 7-0.
