Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette puts on a show in Atlanta

One of the more recent additions to the Buccaneers’ roster, running back Leonard Fournette has been a silent but steady performer for the Buccaneers in 2020. He lived up to the hype surrounding him by putting in a sizzling display against NFC South rivals Atlanta Falcons in Week 15.

As seen in the video above, Tom Brady and Fournette connected with almost telepathic reflexes to move up the field for a gain of almost 22 yards as the Buccaneers pushed for a comeback. Eventually, Fournette was the star performer for the visitors. On 14 carries, Fournette rushed for 49 yards with two rushing TDs to his name.

Fournette rose to fame while playing for Jacksonville Jaguars over the last three years. He moved to Florida in search of a better team to match his personal goals. But it remains to be seen if the Buccaneers can go all the way this year.
