It’s always great when a young player has an appreciate for the history of the game and the greats who have come before him. That is certainly the case with Leonard Fournette.
The LSU star running back sent a tweet on Friday expressing his appreciation of Syracuse’s legendary running backs Ernie Davis, Jim Brown and Floyd Little.
Earnie Davis, Jim brown, Floyd Little… Thank you guys for paving the way for us running backs to this day GOATS pic.twitter.com/54wQjlc7q6

LSU is in Syracuse to face the Orange on Saturday, which explains Fournette’s tweet. If he keeps looking as good as he did last week against Auburn, one day maybe he’ll be mentioned in the same conversations as those legends.
