NFL Scout Chris Landry is in Indianapolis for the Scouting Combine helping NFL teams in the evaluation process.
I am compelled to address the Leonard Fournette weight and vertical jump issues due to the approximately 900 text messages asking for a comment on the issue. As far as the weight is concerned, as NFL league Scouting executives we not only study each player’s weight but their body fat percentage along with any medical issues to determine a players best weight to compete at.
While Fournette’s weight is not ideal, his body fat percentage was fine and his weight will be what his eventual NFL team wants it to be.
