Since entering the NFL in 2017, Leonard Fournette has made a habit of wearing his LSU shoulder pads under his Jacksonville and Tampa Bay jerseys. Now he s got a shot at adding another prized element of his college gear to his NFL get-up: his jersey number.
Fournette wore no. 7 during his incredibly productive college career and would have liked to continue doing so after being drafted fourth-overall by the Jaguars in 2017. However, there were two obstacles. First, backup quarterback Chad Henne was already in possession of that number, having worn it for the Jaguars since 2012. Chances are Fournette and Henne could have worked something out, but it was a moot point due to the second obstacle: the NFL wouldn t allow it.
