I'd like that. Fournette is a beast-mode runner.
The dude is an enigma.
Dropped by Jax. Benched in Tampa for a few games, then Tampa's playoff beast: the man who couldn't be brought down, especially in 4th quarters when D's are spent.
Bill probably saw a little Corey Dillon in Playoff Fournette.
And we know Bill has a soft spot for big backs: Smith, Dillon, Blount (all sporting NEP SB rings) and TD Tommy Vardell
In a perfect world, I suspect Bill wants every NE back to be a 3 down run/catch threat vs Sony who's presence signals run. Fournette checks these 3 boxes.
Clues that might not be clues:
Massive tackle coming in.
Highly proficient run blocking TE on the way who's been clearing paths for the baddest of the big boy RBs
Who knows?
2020 had to have been a wake up call season for Fournette though his big finish probably inflated his self worth a bit.
One year prove it deal?
One problem: He and his agent might view Bill's RB by committee philosophy and take a pass
Unless the coin can't be ignored
I'm in
