Leonard Fournette could be Jets' version of Beast Mode, sans Skittles

This is the fifth in a series highlighting players who could be selected by the New York Jets with the sixth overall pick in the April 27 draft:

Player: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

Height/weight: 6-foot, 228 pounds

Scouts, Inc. ranking: No. 5.

Draft projection: Fourth to 12th.

Scouting report: Fournette is one of the best running back prospects in years, a rare blend of power and speed (4.51 seconds in the 40). He probably was ready for the NFL after his freshman season, maybe sooner.
