Bucs:
“The last time we saw Leonard Fournette he was about a donut shy of 260,” Stroud recently said on his podcast. “He certainly didn’t look like a guy who could play every down.”
Fournette, 27, did not show up for voluntary OTAs this past spring. But upon his arrival at mandatory minicamp, the Buccaneers staff apparently found that he wasn’t in game-day shape.
Height:
He is 6′ 0 feet tall.
In 13 games and starts, Fournette finished his rookie year with 1,040 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns along with 302 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. He was ranked 58th by his peers on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2018.
Dad Tom Brady:
Tom Brady has not always been known to be a big trash talker. But Leonard Fournette revealed the most hilarious trash-talking line ever.
Tom Brady is a little bit crazy. There’s no way around it. He is so dedicated to football and the quarterbacking that it borders upon madness. There’s nothing else to say about it and his continued NFL career at the age of 44-years-old is a testament to it.
Contract 2022:
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the Bucs are re-signing running back Leonard Fournette to a three-year, $21 million deal that can be worth up to $24 million with incentives, per sources informed of the situation. The deal comes a day after Fournette visited the New England Patriots.
He earned a base salary of $2.5 million in 2020 and $3.5 million in 2021. His average salary in 2022 will exceed those earnings combined.
