This...Who cares if a guy who still looks like he's cut out of stone is a few pounds "overweight". Either his NFL team will get him where they want him or they won't care that he's at 240. The tiny bit of agility he'd gain by dropping a few pounds isn't his game anyways, at all.
You're reaching for anything at this point. Stick with the stuff on tape you don't like, it has merit.
Let an NFL team decide his ideal weight. It's one thing to pull a number out of the air (like, 225) and another to be at a natural weight for your frame and build. I would fully expect a guys weight to fluctuate at different times of the year, especially one with a bigger frame.
Is a few pounds really a concern for a young man who has the rigors of an NFL training schedule in front of him? I imagine losing 10 pounds is, no pun intended, a piece of cake.
So, is Fournette another Le'veon Bell who came into the league around 244 and is now widely considered the best back in the league? Or is he the next Eddie Lacy or Karlos Williams doomed for late night snacks with his pregnant girlfriend? It all seems a little premature right now...
