Leonard Fournette Is Jacksonville's Best Receiving Back
5 years agoJacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette has never been much of a receiving threat, but based on the current construction of the roster, that looks likely to change this upcoming season. Of the four backs currently projected to make the roster -- Fournette, Ryquell Armstead, Alfred Blue, and Thomas Rawls -- only Fournette has had a season with at least 20 receptions, says Phillip Heilman of The Athletic. Barring a late signing, Fournette looks to be used as a every down back when healthy. Fournette is being drafted as an RB2 right now, but he has tremendous upside if no receiving back is brought in for third-down work.
