Yesterday at the NFL combine, LSU running back Leonard Fournette put up some meager vertical leap numbers which brought out the Twitter scouts and haters from out of the wood work.
Leonard Fournette with a 28 1/2 vertical is an alarming number. Only one RB had a sub-30 inch vert at last year's Combine.

28.5" vertical for Fournette is very bad. Average should be 34.5 for RBs.

Fournette went on to crush the 40 yard dash by running 4.51 which is an insane number for someone weighing 240 pounds.
