Potential top five pick officially declares for the NFL Draft

This isn't a surprise.

This year's NFL Draft will be filled with plenty of talent in the first round and one player included on that list is LSU running back Leonard Fournette. It's not a terribly big  surprise that he's going after only his junior year, but he did pen this incredible letter to fans about his time at the school and with the fans.

Fournette has rushed for over 3,800 yards in his career and has 41  total touchdowns as well. He's a powerful runner at 6'1" and 230 pounds and has shown he's gotten better at catching passes out of the backfield over his three years. He was an All-American in 2015 and a Heisman candidate last season as well.
