#3 Leonard Fournette (RB, Jacksonville Jaguars)
A battering ram with the ability to run like the 'Flash', Leonard Fournette is an athletic beast. Picked by a team with one of the best defences but a below-par offence, Fournette has turned the team's fortunes and now they are division leaders.
Fournette joined LSU in 2014 to play college football and represented The Tigers for 3 seasons. Winning the 2015 Texas Bowl and 2016 Citrus Bowl during his time LSU, he also won the 2015 NCAA Rushing award for his impressive 1,953 rushing yards which included 3 games for 200 yards or more rushing yards.
