    I don't think ESPN was too enamored with Leonard not making this more exciting than what transpired.

    Leave the excitement for the field ESPN. They shouldn't be attempting to create excitement through drama. If drama is necessary, they shouldn't expect the kids to provide it for them. Just do it the old fashion way and make some shit up, I bet Herbie is ready.

    I've never seen someone TRUCK like this to make a tackler miss; you see the 4.3, 4.4 athletes that can backpedal and stutter to make others at the high school/collegiate level miss and rack up mega yards, but his style is straight ahead.. full speed, full power and making people miss. Extraordinary really.

    he said in an interview that he doesn't like wasted movement and that he is a north-south runner

    he doesn't plan to go around you, he plans to go THROUGH you

    this is why you're hearing whispers of the Adrian Peterson comparison with this kid

    I've never seen a more violent runner in my lifetime than Peterson.

    Fournette is going to be really fun to watch.

    I thought Spencer Ware was more violent than Peterson. Peterson was way more effective and was way more shifty, and has alot better vision, but I always thought Ware would be the first tailback to get called for targeting.

    Oh God no.

    Ware was maybe the Adrian Peterson of college football, but he isn't violent enough in the NFL to even see the field.

    I've never seen a running back lower his head and come at you the way that Ware did when he was at LSU. I swear there were times when his head was down below his knees in an effort to decapitate somebody while running the ball.

    A miracle he never suffered any or many concussions.
