Leonard Fournette

He did not attend OTAs throughout the offseason and when he did show up for mandatory minicamp, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports coaches were not ...

"Coaches were not happy, and that's an understatement, when he didn't participate in the OTAs, but then he shows up at the mandatory minicamp weighing damn near 260 [pounds]," Stroud said of Fournette on the Sports Day Tampa Bay podcast. However, since that deal has been signed, it doesn't appear like the Bucs coaches are all too thrilled with how Fournette has carried himself. Fournette was then signed to another one-year deal that following offseason and again impressed with a 2021 campaign where he totaled over 1,200 yards from scrimmage to go along with 10 touchdowns.

The NFL offseason is a time for players to take a much needed break, but in the modern NFL, that break doesn't mean you aren't still in preparation mode for ...

We’ll see if Fournette got the message, as he will have had over a month to shed a few pounds before the team starts training camp on July 26. Fournette had been on one-year deals the last two seasons, but was able to win over the team and signed a three-year contract this offseason. Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette apparently hasn’t been that vigilant this offseason, and was up to almost 260 pounds for mandatory minicamp and the Bucs powers that be weren’t too happy about the situation, per Rick Stroud.

Last week, Tampa Bay Times reporter Rick Stroud said on his podcast that Bucs running back Leonard Fournette is now “about a donut shy” of weighing 260 ...

In 2018, Jake Dotchin of the Tampa Bay Lightning reportedly showed up “30-35 pounds” heavier than his playing weight the previous season. These guys have the shortest offseason, from roughly May to July, and many of them have international tournaments to keep them busy during that time. I was surprised to learn that hockey had an instance of a 30-pound gain. A player like Fournette can go basically six months, from the third week of January to the second week of June, without seeing anyone he works for in person. Really, you could put any women’s sport in this category, since so few of them pay their players enough to not have to find other leagues to play in during the offseason. Last week, Tampa Bay Times reporter Rick Stroud said on his podcast that Bucs running back Leonard Fournette is now “about a donut shy” of weighing 260 pounds.

Leonard Fournette is slamming the door on a report he showed up to Bucs minicamp weighing 260 lbs., pissing off the coaches -- saying it's all cap -- 'cause ...

Fournette rushed for 812 yards and rushed for 8 TDs. He also had 69 catches for 454 yards and 2 receiving TDs. ... 17 pounds lighter than the 245 he says he weighs now. Leonard Fournette Shuts Down Report Of Weight Gain ... Totally False!!

Buccaneers coaches were reportedly not happy when the running back showed up to mandatory minicamp about 30 pounds heavier.

If the report is accurate, Fournette will have a long way to go if he wants to be ready for training camp July 26. “Coaches were not happy, and that’s an understatement, when [Fournette] didn’t participate in the OTAs, but then he shows up at the mandatory minicamp weighing damn near 260 [pounds],” Stroud said. His comments can be heard at the 19-minute mark.

C'est du moins ce que le journaliste du «Tampa Bay Times» Rick Stroud a indiqué dans un épisode de son balado, vendredi. Fournette avait choisi de ne pas se ...

En 14 matchs en 2021, l’Américain de 27 ans a effectué 180 courses pour 812 verges de gains. S’il n’est pas en forme pour amorcer la saison, Ronald Jones II, Giovani Bernard et Ke'Shawn Vaughn sont les autres demi offensifs de l’équipe susceptibles de voir de l’action. Rachaad White, sélectionné en troisième ronde au dernier repêchage, pourrait également brouiller les cartes. Fournette avait choisi de ne pas se présenter aux activités volontaires cette année. Lors du premier minicamp obligatoire, sa forme physique en a fait sourciller plusieurs.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette's weight is reportedly overblown. The only thing really overblown is this "issue" for the Buccaneers.

Fournette will slim down to the playing weight he needs to during training camp (they are in Florida after all), and this will become a non-issue. The thing is, while it’s true that Fournette just signed a contract extension and him showing up all ballooned up for minicamp isn’t a great look, it seemed like everything was resolved. When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers reported for minicamp back at the beginning of June, it was reported that Leonard Fournette was tipping the scales at upwards of 260 pounds and that the coaching staff was justifiably not happy.

Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is reportedly in poor shape leading up to training camp.

Hopefully, Lenny can get in shape in a hurry before the regular season begins or some of the other Bucs' running backs may start to creep into his touches. One would think that would make Fournette want to show why he is deserving of that contract. However, it seems that when Fournette arrived at mandatory minicamp he was extremely out of shape and that the Buccaneers' coaches were less than pleased that he let himself go.

It sounds like Leonard Fournette has some work to do to get into game shape. A Buccaneers coach told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that the RB showed ...

So we’re trying to take care of that right now. At the time, Fournette admitted to being overweight, but he sounded optimistic that he’s be back to his standard weight in time for training camp. “It’s training camp where you need to be where you’ve got to be, so right now there are guys that are in shape that could afford to lose a few pounds, and there’s guys that are out of shape that are really under weight.
