Leonard Fournette was an absolute monster for the Tigers in 2015 averaging 6.51 yards per carry and had 22 touchdowns. He also had almost 2,000 rushing yards on an even 300 carries. He broke a ridiculous amount of tackles during the season and weighs a healthy 230 pounds while standing at 6'1".
However, LSU coach Les Miles thinks that Fournette could be even better next season if he lost weight! Can you believe that?
From the mouth of Les Miles: "Leonard Fournette's got to trim up," the coach said. "For him to get the speed he's capable of, I think he needs to be lighter."
That seems ridiculous to me or probably anyone who watched Fournette at all this season considering how defenders bounced off him and how he was able to cut so well. He looked fast to me, but if losing can make him even better, who am I to argue?
