When Leonard Fournette called Ezekiel Elliott a fat a**

Ezekiel Elliott and Leonard Fournette
Leonard Fournette is no longer Playoff Lenny, he has transitioned into Laid-off Lenny as he showed up at training camp out of shape looking like he is going through a rough phase in life. The running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers invited quite some criticism his way when his coaches mentioned that he was ‘a donut shy of 260 pounds.’
His official weight listed is 228 pounds, which is a jump of 32 pounds. Fournette seems to be attempting to transition to an offensive lineman from running back. Clearly, all of his coaches were not happy with him for showing up unprepared especially since he just signed an extension with the Bucs. Karma is a real thing as Fournette who once made fun of Ezekiel Elliott for being out of shape is now himself in the same situation.
This tweet from Leonard Fournette did not age well:
Fournette back in 2018 replied to Ezekiel Elliott’s tweet. It was Zeke’s birthday week and the running back took to social media to ask what the fans and his friends were going to be gifting him. Fournette decided to take a jibe at the Cowboys’ RB and responded by replying “Treadmill fat ass.”
Oh how the tables have turned now, at the time Ezekiel Elliott has publicly stated that he is in the best shape of his entire life, Leonard happens to be in the worst shape of his life. The running back will need to spend a significant amount of time getting into shape in training camp.
Apart from his coaches, Tom Brady will be one of the most disappointed in the RB as he had vouched for him personally when his contract had expired with the team and he was yet to be offered an offer for an extension. Leonard took a meeting with the New England Patriots in free agency and when Brady heard about this, he called Lenny and then the Bucs front office and ensured that they put a suitable offer to Fournette.
Coming out of shape is unusual for the RB who has been disciplined throughout his career. He will have to do the most work in training camp as he has to shed some weight off while ensuring that he can still run and stay agile.
