A Leonard Fournette net worth of $10 million is something to be proud of considering how hard he’s had to climb up the ladder of success to get what he wants. While playing as a running back, there are a number of times when he’s been quoted in ways that reveal that he’s done well for himself.

One of his quotes have him saying “I come from being poor to a millionaire and I’ve seen the way cops treated people in my neighborhood. If you have a name, or you have a face, the treatment is different.”

He has come a long way and has had to work really hard playing football, now as a running back at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, to get to where he is now.

Introduction

Fournette has proven himself to be something of a go-getter in that thing he had said he would do, he is now doing or has already done. One of them was most recently celebrated.

Patrick Mahomes, Bubba Wallace, Diamond DeShields, Michaela Onyenwere, Megan Thee Stallion, Demi Lovato, Niall Horan, Simu Liu, Issa Rae, Steve Saylor, and Matthew Cherry are among the 11 personalities honored by Twitter for turning their tweets into real-life achievements.

In a statement, Jenna Ross, Senior Manager of Entertainment Partnerships at Twitter, said, “With this campaign, we’re recognizing a collection of amazing individuals who, through their own hard work and drive, were able to manifest and make the aspirations they Tweeted a reality.”

According to Twitter communications, since his 2014 tweet, Fournette has gained over 450,000 followers, accounting for 97.7% of his total following.

Fournette who ranks sixth among all NFL running backs with 1,266 yards from scrimmage, averaging a career-best 4.5 yards per carrying, is re-signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a three-year, $21 million deal.

The deal includes $11 million guaranteed, and it could reach $24 million with incentives.

Early Life

Leonard Fournette was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on January 18, 1995, to Leonard Fournette, Jr. and Lory Fournette. He is extremely enthusiastic about football and sprinting fast, but not for his own benefit.

Leonard stated that he is running for his team, as well as his parents, siblings, and daughter, to lead LSU to a title. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 changed his life forever; his grandfather died in the storm, and his family was forced to relocate to Texas.

After moving to Houston and returning within a year due to the hurricane evacuation, Fournette thanked Katrina for kick-starting his football career. His mother’s Catholic faith, he says, helped the family get through the rehabilitation process.

He has a younger brother, Lenard, with whom he competed for most of his childhood. Leonard attended St. Augustine High School in New Orleans and was offered a scholarship to Louisiana State University as a freshman.

Career

In the National Football League, he is a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFL). The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Fournette III with the fourth overall choice in the 2017 NFL Draft. He attended Louisiana State University (LSU) during his college football career. On January 18, 1995, he was born.

In 2013, USA Today named him the High School Football Offensive Player of the Year. He has also been designated the top-ranked recruit of the year in his senior class, according to ESPN, 247Sports.com, and CBS Sports.

As a result, Fournette had near-unprecedented buzz heading into college in 2014 following an amazing career at St. Augustine High School in New Orleans.

He earned a consensus All-America pick at LSU following his sophomore season in 2015. He has 1,953 rushing yards and 22 rushing touchdowns in a single season, and he leads the country with 162.8 rushing yards per game. Various pundits considered him the best player in college football.

After being picked by the Jaguars, Fournette had mixed results. In his rookie season alone, he carried for over 1,000 yards.

However, after three seasons with the squad, he was discharged due to a series of injuries and suspensions. His connection with the franchise was said to have deteriorated, finally resulting to his release.

He then signed a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 6, 2020. With them, he won Super Bowl LV with a 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

In the game, Fournette carried for 89 yards, scored a touchdown, and had four catches for 46 yards. He gained the nickname “Playoff Lenny” after scoring the game-winning touchdown in the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl victory, which later morphed into “Lombardi Lenny.”

In addition, he also became the third player in NFL history to score touchdowns in four consecutive postseason games.
