Leonard Fournette: Salary| Contract| Net Worth| Fantasy| Age…
Upon being drafted by the Jaguars, Fournette had intermediate success, including rushing for over 1,000 yards in his rookie season. However, he struggled with several injuries and suspensions and as a result, his relationship with the franchise soured, eventually leading to his release after just three seasons with the team. He then signed with the Buccaneers, with whom he played a large part in winning Super Bowl LV over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Salary
The Jacksonville Jaguars released Leonard Fournette and saving Fournette’s salary had to be part of the reason. Maybe they won’t be saving that money after all.

Net Worth
Leonard Joseph Fournette III is an American football running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League (NFL). Leonard Fournette net worth is estimated at $10 million.
Fantasy
Fournette got off to a slow start in the 2020 season, ceding touches to a fellow former first-round pick, Ronald Jones II. As the season progressed though, Fournette started to take over the lead duties, eventually turning into “Playoff Lenny” where he totaled 300 rushing yards, 148 receiving yards, and four touchdowns en route to the Buccaneers Super Bowl win. Bruce Arians has a penchant for rolling out a committee of running backs, so Fournette will likely slide down draft boards in 2021. Still, he showed what he’s capable of when given the starting duties and will have a high ceiling.
Age
Leonard Fournette is 26 years old, he was born on 18 January 1995. Raised in the 7th Ward of New Orleans by his parents Leonard Jr. and Lory, Fournette grew up in a troubled area that was often affected by violence and gang activity, especially after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. Fournette credited Katrina as kick-starting his football career after he moved to Houston and back within a year because of the hurricane evacuation. He also credits his mother’s Catholic faith with getting the family through the recovery process.
