Les Miles Comments on Leonard Fournette Testing NFL Draft Early-Entry Rule

LSU Tigers head football coach Les Miles has dismissed the notion that his superstar running back Leonard Fournette will test the NFL draft eligibility rules and risk cutting his collegiate career in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, short.

Miles spoke on the matter Wednesday night during his weekly radio show and intimated the sensational sophomore wouldn't sit out next year in a bid to go pro, as reported by ESPN.com:

To me, there's a lot of people out there stirring the pot. Just, let's make controversy. Why not? OK? I can't imagine that Leonard would be sitting anywhere inactive for a fall.
