<![CDATA[The NFL Combine is working its way through Day Four of cone drills, 40-yard dashes, reps of all kinds, and EAT THIS LUNCHPAIL TO SHOW ME HOW MUCH YOU CARE ABOUT FOOTBALL interviews. As usual, there is some serious concern over combine participants not posting numbers that match expectations.
For example, Leonard Fournette, of wrecking-a-defensive-back-on-your-team fame, recorded a 28.5 vertical jump, which was surprising to many who had never seen him try to jump before.
NOT JUST ONE RED FLAG. RED FLAGS. ALARMING. ARE YOU NOT ALARMED?
I am so alarmed that I’ve taken the time to put together a list of things Leonard Fournette cannot jump over with those weak, jelly-like legs of his. Let this be a warning to those who might consider drafting him.
