Why Leonard Fournette has $100 sealed in his pads


There's an interesting detail about Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette's pads - he sealed $100 into them.

Why would a running back put $100 in his pads, you ask?

Well, you're in luck because Fox 9's Pierre Noujaim asked the 23-year-old just that. According to Noujaim, Fournette had a brief but awesome reply: "100 yards a game and I'm 100 percent real."

He averaged 80 yards per game last season.

Fournette's teammate Jalen Ramsey also put money in his pads. While wearing No. 20, Ramsey had $20 sealed in last season.
