Apparently Leonard Fournette isn't a fan of criticism.
The LSU running back faced quite a bit of it a month ago at the NFL Combine, where some critics teed off on Fournette for showing up to the Combine at 240 pounds.
Leonard Fournette showing up at 240 lbs, then having a weak 28.5 inch vertical jump are more red flags after a season with injuries.

Fournette ran a 4.51 in the 40 even at that weight, but he still faced some heat for showing up as what some perceived as overweight.
Well, it looks like Fournette just shot back at his critics big time, as he weighed in at a clean 228 pounds at LSU's Pro Day on Wednesday.

Fournette said some of the weight that he was carrying at the Combine was water weight, but it looks like he was able to cut down some over the past few weeks anyways. Fournette was listed at 235 last season with LSU, and NFL teams will probably be fine as long as he's able to stay within range of that number.
