Neither Fournettes LSU colleagues nor current or past Jaguars quarterbacks Blake Bortles, Cody Kessler and Gardner Minshew will likely be delighted by that evaluation, however its tough to argue with Fournettes view of the upgrade in his quarterback situation.
Thats a prospect that brings Fournette happy thoughts.
Fournette was released by the Jaguars recently and didnt need to wait long before landing a contract to sign up with the Buccaneers. Hes part of a backfield that likewise includes Ronald Jones and LeSean McCoy, so it stays to be seen simply how solid a function hell have on offense however any role he plays will come with Tom Brady taking snaps from.
Getting launched three years after going fourth total in the draft normally isnt viewed as an advantage, but Leonard Fournette does not appear to be looking at his departure from Jacksonville that way.
With Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Rob Gronkowski and O.J. Howard on board as receivers for Brady, Fournette will likely be seeing less defenders in package than he has in the past. The upside of getting cut will likely outweigh any negatives if that pays off in increased production.
