Giants' Landon Collins, Jaguars' Leonard Fournette go way back

Their first dispute was over a number.

Landon Collins and Leonard Fournette both wanted to wear the No. 5 jersey. Collins doesn’t even remember why. “Probably because of Reggie Bush,” he said. What he does recall is that he wound up getting it. Collins was a little older and had been in the program for a season already. Plus, he said, he was the better running back.

They were about 7 years old at the time.

Fournette had to settle for a different jersey: No. 1

On Sunday, they’ll find out who really is No.
