Leonard Fournette was surprisingly waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars this week, but he seems ecstatic with where he ended up.
Fournette has signed a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which gives him an opportunity to play alongside six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. As you might expect, Fournette is excited about that. He shard a hilarious tweet on Friday that perfectly summed up his feelings.

Fournette will compete with Ronald Jones for carries. Bucs coach Bruce Arians indicated this week that Jones is still the starter, but Fournette should have plenty of opportunities. While there were some unflattering reports about Fournette’s conduct in Jacksonville, he still rushed for 1,152 yards last season.
Brady is probably equally excited about Fournette signing with the Bucs. When you’re 43 and looking to prove you can win a title without the greatest coach of all time, every weapon helps.
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski have teamed up yet again! Treat yourself or a friend with this great Tampa Fiesta shirt. You can buy it here.
