Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette was prepared to leave the team in free agency — however, Tom Brady convinced him to stay.
Fournette was exploring other options, and he even had a meeting with the New England Patriots on March 21. However, Brady made sure that the running back would stay a part of the offensive arsenal.
He carried the ball 180 times for 812 yards and eight touchdowns in 2021. He also caught 69 passes for 454 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his skills as a versatile running back.
