Leonard Fournette this season:
120 touches, 635 yards


Wow. He would have had to play Bama around 12 times to approach those numbers.

So should I post a picture of OJ Howard and his Super Bowl ring from January since this clearly makes him a better Tight End than Mark Andrews?

Can't wait until you make the gif of LF sitting on his couch watching Henry's HOF induction ceremony. You're planning on making that one, right? Right?

Howard was injured and did not contribute to Tampa’s run. Comparing him to Playoff Lenny?

That probably explains why he vanishes in the playoffs every single season

Cherry-picking your stats again?

From the linked article:

Henry's averaging 111.7 rushing yards per game in the playoffs, the fifth-highest mark in NFL history, and has three 100-plus-yard games. Only nine players in league history have more than three 100-yard rushing postseason games; seven of them are Hall of Famers, and an eighth (Marshawn Lynch) is not yet eligible to be inducted.


All three of Henry's 100+ yard games rank in the top 50 rushing performances in NFL play-off history: #11 (195), #17 (182), and #47 (156); and he's done that without the GOAT QB under center with every defense knowing he's gonna get the lion's share of touches...

If that's vanishing in the playoffs, I hope the Falcons can find a vanishing RB like that (if they ever make the playoffs again, that is)...

Derrick Henry isn;t the fastest RB in the NFL, he would get dusted by 10.4 sprinter Jonathan Taylor and Big 10 100 champ Raheem Mostet a 10,2 guy, As far as history goes he also gets dusted by...

Bobby Mitchell...Big 10 100 champ
Buddy Young...NCAA/USA 100 champ
Ollie Matson...400m Olympian/9.5
Curtis Dickey...10.10 world ranked
Marshall Faulk...10.3
Bo Jackson...10.3
Herschel Walker...10.23
Chris Johnson...10.3
Eric Dickerson....9.4
Joe Delaney...9.4
Michael Bennett...10.18
Jamaal Charles...10.18

Henry can't break a 10.6

Yards win rushing titles + other meaningless accolades.

TDs win Super Bowls!

And Leonard has nearly 3x as many playoff Tuddies as little Queen Henry.

CBS
The score was Fournette's fourth in four games during the 2020 postseason. He now joins Terrell Davis and Larry Fitzgerald as the only players to score touchdowns in four games during the postseason.

@NFLResearch
Leonard Fournette has joined Arian Foster, HOF Franco Harris, & HOF Marcus Allen as the only players in NFL history with 350+ rush yards, 5+ rush TD and 1+ rec TD in their first 5 career playoff games

Congrats on that mediocrity in the regular season that led to being a wildcard team, i guess

That was Queen’s most recent playoff game.

The one before that Queen put up a stellar 61 yards on 21 touches (2.9 yards per touch) - in another loss.
