Former LSU football star Leonard Fournette is transitioning into the NFL.
This week, Fournette is participating in his first training camp since being selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars. While Fournette was used to rolling through opponents in Baton Rouge, he was quickly welcomed to the big leagues.
On Friday, Fournette took a handoff before being completely blown up in the backfield by Sheldon Day, a former Notre Dame star.
Fournette was decleated and the crowd went wild.

Ouch.
Don’t be too concerned though, Jaguars fans. Fournette has a bright future and this was just his “welcome to the NFL” moment.
The Jaguars begin their preseason on Thursday, Aug. 10 against the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. The regular season kicks off a month later on Sunday, Sept. 10 against the division rival Houston Texans.
