Leonard Fournette is a freak athlete, and such was on display during the first day of the NFL combine Friday.
The former LSU Tiger running back, who weights in a 240lbs., impressed many with his 4.51 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine despite talk of the weight he put on during the offseason.
The scary part is, some teams had him faster on their watch:
At least five teams that I know of inside Combine workout timed Fournette between 4.46-4.48.

Fournette is widely regarded as a top ten pick in next month’s NFL Draft.
