Leonard Fournette

I still came back.

I still played injured.

I suffered with a high and low ankle sprain, right?

And not to mention, I could have set out in the beginning of the season because I already had gotten my grade back from the NFL.

They said I was going to be a top five pick.

But you got to understand this, me being who I am, you know, and wanting to win for LSU and me being from Louisiana.

I mean, it's nothing like it.

So just going out there and compete.

And the thing that hurt me the most.

Right.

I thought I was I thought at the time and I still believe that now I made that decision.

based on my family, a business career.

At the time, I had a son and a daughter.

So I thought about longevity.

And you got to think about the past guys who played before me, LaMarcus Lattimore, who played at South Carolina.

He tore up his knee.

So all that plays a part

when you're playing a game, right, that you love, right?

And also there's the harsh reality, like you can get hurt and now you don't be the top five pick, the first rounder.

You know, you might go to, you might be a free agent, you know, not get drafted.
