312 catches even though he has hands of stone
6,700 yards rushing and receiving. 41 Touchdowns
1,101 yds 1,266 yds, 1,342 yds, 1,674 yds, 4 of his 6 season totals in yards. The other 2 seasons he only started 8 and 3 games for whatever the reasons.
Mitchell Trubisky and Solomon Thomas were taken at 2 and 3 before Jax took him 4th overall. Corey Davis, John Ross and Mike Williams would all follow him later in the Top 10.
We're awful quick to throw this guy away like he has zero value and has been a wandering nobody since he arrived, the numbers would tell a slightly different tune.
I'm just discussing his potential value to a real NFL team now that he has 6 years under his belt, a major role in winning the Super Bowl and about 2.5 years working with Tom Brady.
I think many will be surprised who might call him to come start for them or have a potential large role in the offense.
I understand what you are saying, but Fournette has been incredibly inefficient throughout his career. Those yardage totals are pretty poor for someone seeing his volume. There is a very good reason he struggled to separate from Ronald Jones, or Rachaad White. He had a great playoff run in 2020, but that's really the only time he's been an above average RB in his career.
I think Fournette is good enough as a blocker and receiver to get a #2 job. But I'd be shocked if he got a clear starting job.
For the record, I think Corey Davis, and especially Mike Williams were better draft picks.
I wonder if this guy will be on Howie and the Eagle's radar. Seems like a perfect combo of timing to get a guy like this on a playoff team for cheap.
Would think they'd be better off just keeping Miles Sanders, who I wouldn't expect to be particularly expensive either for the same supply/demand reasons.
