Regardless of his situations with the Jacksonville Jaguars’ front office, running back Leonard Fournette has always been a man of the people. Whether his connection has been with his own people of New Orleans, those in Texas, or the fans in Duval, he’s been pretty available and his connection with the fans is likely one that won’t ever fade.
During the draft this weekend, he took the time out to join a Zoom chat full of Jags fans hosted by the “Bold Take” podcast crew (Twitter users @E_Dilla, @BoldCityCap, and @sollpaper), which provided the web with some great content. He also brought up his favorite moment since becoming a Jag: Jalen Ramsey’s infamous scuffle with A.J. Green.
With his statements still garnering buzz around the web, Fournette circled around to what he said Tuesday, only to roast his good friend more. He also went into detail on the big mistake Ramsey made, which was turning his back on an angry opponent.
Everybody from the hood knows you never suppose to turn yo back on nobody when in a altercation so his ass got choked out like somebody chewing on a Popeyes biscuit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 https://t.co/SDwt8WXx45

Of course, this caused some fans to think Fournette was no longer cool with Ramsey, but Fournette’s statements were just a simple case of him joking on one of his best friends in the league. To be honest, it wouldn’t be shocking if Fournette has joked with Ramsey about the situation in person as the two had some classic locker room moments when together.
With it looking like Fournette will remain with the Jags for 2020, hopefully, he can build the same brotherly bond with some of the new faces in the locker room and help lead the Jags to a decent season.
