Leonard Fournette reaches 1,000 rushing yards on the season in first drive vs. Chargers

Jacksonville Jaguars tailback Leonard Fournette only needed 19 yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, and was able to hit that mark in the first drive. On his fifth carry of the game, Fournette was able to garner and 11-yard gain after already accumulating 12, which put him at 1,004 yards on the season.

There hasn’t been a lot of positives to take from the season, but Fournette has certainly been a joy for fans to watch. He’s also matured off the field and has been one of the locker room’s top leaders.

With over five minutes remaining in the second quarter, Fournette currently has 10 carries for 30 yards, but the Jags will need a lot more from him as they are down 14-3 at the moment.
