4. Leonard Fournette, running back, LSU
One of the biggest boom-or-bust players in this year’s draft, Fournettte has some serious potential to become a one or two-year wonder at the next level.
First off, there’s the very real issue of Fournette having dealt with what has been described as a chronic ankle problem during his tenure at LSU. The powerhouse back missed half the 2016 season due to this issue, including the final game of his college career, the Citrus Bowl, as he prepared for the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine.
Then there’s the issue that, even after skipping his final college game to prepare for said combine, he kind of bombed the sucker. If not for a surprisingly fast 40 time (watch here), it would have to be said that Fournette’s combine was an utter disaster.
A running back who isn’t durable, isn’t explosive and doesn’t catch the ball naturally with consistency, Fournette is extremely overhyped heading into the 2017 NFL Draft.
