34. Leonard Fournette

Leonard Fournette was a Jacksonville Jaguar for the first three seasons of his carer, where he was one of the most promising Running Backs in football.

A consensus All-American at LSU, Fornette was fourth overall in the 2017 Draft, and he instantly was a workhorse of the Jaguars' offense.  The Running Back placed eighth in Rushing Yards (1,040) as a rookie, and he punched the ball in the end zone nine times.  He missed part of the 2018 season, only playing eight games, and in 2019, he again rushed over 1,000 Yards, with 1,152 (7th overall), with an increased receiving game with 522 Yards.  Fournette was sixth in All-Purpose Yards and Yards From Scrimmage (1,674).  The Jags allowed him to escape via free agency, and he signed with the same-state Buccaneers and won a Super Bowl.

Fournette had 3,640 Yard From Scrimmage from Jacksonville.
