Leonard Fournette and Yannick Ngakoue are still playing their hearts out

Nobody from the current front office regime should be brought back next year, but whoever the team’s next regime is won’t have an issue figuring out who the team’s young leaders are.

Despite getting blown out, Leonard Fournette played with heart all game and continued to be the leader the Jags need through his actions on and off the field. Part of that is due to the underrated signing of running backs coach Terry Robiskie, who really has broken through to the young running back.

As for Fournette’s performance on the field Week 12, he had 24 touches on the day for 94 yards and two touchdowns and also was the team’s No. 2 receiving leader with nine catches for 62 yards. Simply put, he was the only source of reliable offense on the day as the passing game was lackluster for the most part.

On defense, Yannick Ngakoue continues to perform to the point where it’s looking ridiculous that the front office hasn’t paid him. He had two tackles on the day and a strip-sack on Ryan Tannehill, further proving he’s a turnover causing machine that any team would love to have. Sure, he could’ve saved his one-fingered gesture to the Titans’ sideline, but like Fournette, he could further mature with the right mentor on defense (which could come later).

Regardless, if you’re talking about what he’s done as a player and how his teammates view him, it’s clear he’s one of the young leaders of the locker-room.
