Normally during the weeks leading up to NFL training camp, there are reports about players being in the “best shape of their lives.” This is not one of those reports. Quite the opposite.
According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette weighs close to 260 pounds, nearly 30 pounds more than his playing weight during last season.
Fournette, who finished as the No. 6 running back in PPR formats in 2021, did not report to the team’s voluntary Organized Team Activities but when he arrived for minicamp, the Tampa Bay coaches were “not happy” with the running back’s weight. Stroud also reported Fournette seemed to struggle with the heat and pointed to his physique as a possible cause during the team’s training sessions in June.
