Leonard Fournette vs. anyone

As it says in his evaluation, "They don't make them this big and fast often at the running back position" and that gives you a pretty good clue as to why it's worth keeping an eye on the nation's No. 1 player throughout the event. Now this setting won't truly provide an opportunity for the big, fast and nimble-footed Fournette to showcase his tools as a running back, but it will provide an opportunity for him to demonstrate his receiving skills, which can be a bit of an underrated aspect of his game. At the 2011 Opening, current Texas RB Johnathan Gray showed excellent receiving skills and demonstrated how well-rounded he could be, and now Fournette could very well do the same thing.
