Leonard Fournette was the inspiration for my first ever video on this channel. He was dominant at another level. Now, 5 years later, how did he turn out?

Outro- The Fix by Aldous Young - Sport
This video officially marks 5 years since my first upload on this channel. I was a young college kid trying to find a way to be creative while being a collegiate student-athlete. I appreciate all the OG's that have been here since the beginning! Here's to 5 more years. Thanks everyone.
Np
Great job on coming this far KTO!
Although I wasn’t an og I still love your content keep up the good work
5 Years of Greatness
We have gathered today to celebrate the size of this W
I remember that Leonard Fournette video like it was yesterday. i cant believe it's been 5 years. congrats on all the success
@Minecrafter yep
Same that’s crazy
Bro yes omg
KTO you friends with highlight heaven
T
bro u move like a brick but with mad speed
Is that good or bad
For a brick, he flew pretty good.
@@damightybenstein I understood the reference... chief.
@@edwardthibodeaux8815 I am not sure. But from stuff that I've read, sprinters cuts off all lateral movement (no hands or shoulders moving side to side, only front and back) so they are aerodynamic and all momentum is focused in a straight line.
So I guess it is a good thing. But I am not the expert lol
@@verbfrombonsai8852 year a good thing I guess
But seriously, 5 years ago still feels like yesterday.. Thanks for being an inspiration.. I'll never forget the advice you gave me. I was stunned. Much love KTO. Thank you for the content and for all the lessons learned ❤.
Keep up the good work on your videos beo I been watching since you had 1k subscribers and you've improved so much. One of the best hockey youtubers
@@Zaghzackio I remember you Zack! I love seein ya on the channel! Thank you! And glad you also like KTO :D
I am very interested in the "Big fish. Small pond" mindset of young players. You go from being the best in your state to "average" on the national stage. Its crazy
This is true academically too. Most top people in high school end up pretty normal in University.
I think it depends on what kind of ego you have. Some have an ego where being the top dog is what makes them better, and the competition makes them crumble. Others might be good as top dog but being pushed by others elevates them to stay there.
He was seen as a potential franchise player the first few years. As the hype died down and as he regressed it was apparent that we had too high of expectations. Hope he can bounce back in Tampa
Dont think he will hes been awful the first few games.
I thought Marcus latimore was gunna be a beast but damm those knee injuries were terrible
@@squad4112 At least he had a physical reason. This guys issues lie between the ears.
I think injuries and immaturity took over him too early in his career. Playing in Jacksonville didn’t really help since Coughlin practically ruled with an iron fist as an executive and disregarded player rights. Look at how their 2017 playoff team is no more in such a short time.
He won't. Fournette will never be the every down back he was hyped to be.
He’s been playing at near Elite the last few weeks though
I was surprised that he became a bell cow over Ronald Jones and averages 4.4 yards a carry. He even is prevalent in the passing game with 58 receptions. This might be his best season
He gets less volume but is way more efficient
To me, it seems like he relied a lot on his natural athleticism in high school and college, but when he got to the NFL, that didn't work anymore, since everyone is at that level
I feel like he shouldn't have lost weight in the nfl. How can you expect that style to hold up if your 10 lbs lighter than you were in highschool?
He also had LSU's offensive line.
@@jacolbyxbx6762 He lost 10 lbs of muscle because he had to cut back on steroids.
@@Wallyworld30 Truth.
Agree….
He's not elite, but he's still a solid reliable back.
Yeh he is serviceable
He's bad
As a raw talent he’s elite. He just has injuries and off the field issues
He’s an elite playoff back
@@robbie2138 stop trolling buddy
KTO doesn’t swear a whole lot, so I was very caught off-guard by him “being hot shit.” XD
Yeah him cursing is pretty weird
"Shit" hardly qualifies as a curse word nowadays, unless you're Amish or something.
The only true remaining curse word is the F-bomb, and even that's getting pretty stale...
He cursed in Utree’s week 17 sportsball vid in 2019. It was unusual and he dropped a couple f bombs. You should see for yourself
You clearly haven't heard him and Flemlo's podcast
As a Bucs fan, I can't tell you how valuable Lenny is to us. We've been sort of struggling with Ronald Jones. Jones misses blocks and has been punished for mistakes this year. As a consequence, Lenny is starting again this year for us. He is clearly running with more confidence and power. He is just so clutch, too. He's a key part of our great offense
Damn you were slow KTO
my boyfriend made me start watching your channel to learn about/get into football when we started dating ~3 years ago and now we look forward to your new vids all the time :)
yea just gonna be honest, if you were serious enough to actually get into football for him, you deserve for him to propose.
Pretty refreshing to see a woman take interest in sports for her man. Glad you're enjoying it. Hopefully he repays the favor and takes interest in your hobbies as well.
We broke up.
Wish I could do that with my girlfriend haha
Happy five year anniversary KTO! 🎉 the videos keep getting better every time!
Leonard Fornette reminds me of a LeGarrette Blount. A hot and cold running back that can have breakout performances in the playoffs and can be a hard pounding down hill runner!
Though I'd argue Blount at his best is really more of a north/south runner than Fournette whose a bit indecisive at the pro level.
@@t4d0W I would agree with you and Fornette had more shake and bake to him than Blount. But Fornette was also a great down hill runner too.
this already hasn't aged to well
Leonard redemption arc after his sophomore season is greatness. Going to Wyoming and training and avoiding temptation to bounce back hope he can continue to do better.
I used to live in Lafayette, Louisiana. Had a buddy that went to Saint Thomas Moore, which is a decent school for football. They went up against St. Augustine in some game and he tried block Fournette and Fournette stiff-armed him like he was a child. I used to love seeing him run at LSU games. He was truly something special.
Bro he’s a beast now 2 months later lol
KTOs reflection video haha. Loved it.
07:53 - that is pretty much what Eddie George said to Derrick Henry, when the latter called the former for advice during his lackluster first season plus. THis was after a week 7 loss to the Chargers. HIs YAC doubled the next game (where he was basically backing up Dion Lewis). A month later came his breakout game vs. JAX: 238 and 4 on 17 carries - including his now-legendary 99-yard run. He's been beasting ever since.
Maybe someone can hook Fournette up with Maurice Jones-Drew or Mike Alstott for a similar pep talk?
He's 9th in the NFL in rushing this season and also leads all RB's with 62 catches and he's added 10 TD. Most people would be real happy with that
I actually watched your first video way back then, it popped up on my recommended despite it only having 100 some views and you having a very little amount of subs. I still think it’s cool and unsurprising how far your channel has gone, congrats man happy 5 years uploading
He was so good in college cause every game has as much of an impact as a playoff game
Happy 5 years. Thanks for all the great videos
You’re channelling your passion for the sport post college. I hope this is fulfilling, you have a lot of people appreciate this escape you give them. 5 more years!
As of right now, he’s the 4th highest ranked rb in fantasy football… I’d say he’s doing alright
This video was too early and also didn’t age that well. 2 months after posting ole Leo is averaging 4.5 yards per attempt and is on perfect 1000 yard pace. Also has 8 TD and 62 receptions which would be his second best season all time in those categories, and he has 4 games still to play. He isn’t the best back in the league but he looks pretty good and is playing well.
I don’t know if this makes sense, but he’s the Jahlil Okafor of football in my book.
id say more of a Jabari Parker but i see what u mean
@@Joeysmalls3119 that makes sense too
I think he’s Okafor from a “if he played (insert number here) years ago…” perspective but i think you’re right about jabari from a pure talent perspective as wel as having various opportunities and struggling with them or getting hurt
I wanna say Ben Simmons
- Both came out of LSU
- Both were extremely hyped in HS/college
- Both are elite physical specimens
- Both are generally passive at what they do
- Both are kinda divas. Though Fournette took a far lesser role for the greater good. It’s interesting to see what happens with Simmons.
@@Terror832 Simmons is elite at passing and defending. He was an all star and 1st team defender. Don’t let the media make you think Simmons doesn’t have value and isn’t a really really good player.
I can see that. Then I would also compare him to Adam Morrison. Both had monster seasons in college that lead to overly high expectations. Both were champions with teams that didn’t draft them. Granted Leonard actually contributed towards his championship
I went to LSU with Leonard, and watching him play was just as exciting as winning a national championship. Seeing the kind of dominating games and runs he would make was unreal, and I would scream every single offensive snap to give him the ball. That touchdown where he tosses the Auburn defender over his shoulder, I was standing in like the 3rd row of the student section, right in front of that corner of the inzone, howling like an ape. He is my second favorite football player of all time (behind Julio Jones because Im a Falcons fan)
5 years and still producing high quality content......
You're one of the reasons I have made CZcams my main platform for entertainment. Thanks!
no one does it like kto, best football content on youtube hands down.
Congratulations on 5 years of amazing videos KTO! Thank you for your amazing videos keep it up!
Happy 5 years. keep up the great work
Always a good day when KTO uploads
Appreciate that you went back and looked over your mistakes. One of the first CZcamsrs I've seen do that.
Cool
When I first started watching NFL consistently, I remember first discovering Johnny Manziel and from there it led me too high school recruits where I discovered Leonard Fournette, and my first game watching him I was hyped. When he took the first snap and ran nearly all the way to a touchdown against Auburn, before he mauled them for the rest of the game. What a talent he was and can still be.
I can pick out any random video from this channel from any year, and they’d all feel the same - high quality production, crisp sound quality, knowledgeable coverage and analysis, basically this channel’s always been high quality is what I’m saying, keep up the good work I just know you’re one of the best out there for this kind of stuff 🤘
Stop clout chasing clown
@@micah.1009 cringe m8
@@youtubeuser987 you right lil bro
Dudes a beast now that he is with bucs, just needed better line to open holes for him. Super explosive player with right team.
Now we need you to revisit that OBJ video because you got SHIT ON when that came out 🤣🤣🤣
(pun not intended)
What happened
Happy 5 year anniversary
...
what
😂
...get out...
I hate dream
Lenard Fornette is killing it on the Bucs 😁😁
Wow, I’ve really been watching this guy for 5 years. Love the videos. My all time favorite CZcamsr
I would just like to say. He's wrecking it this year. 4 touchdowns in a single game. Pretty impressive
Can't believe 5 years have gone by already. Some things have changed but some haven't like KTO making great content.
Happy five years, bro! Keep being one of th 4 horsemen of sports CZcamsrs!
I sometimes go back and watch the 2016 vids for nostalgia’s sake, the first season I really cared about football was that one, been here since you had 300 subs, congrats on 5 years
Congrats on 5 years and setting the bar high along with Mike Korzemba for the sports channels that followed.
As a Bucs fan Fournett still feels underwhelming on the Bucs.
The Playoff run was great though
Playoff Lenny was so much fun to watch
The o-line isnt really set up for a ground n pound style that he thrives off. He does just enough with whats in front of him
He still looks pretty good to me, just doesn't get that many opportunities given the way the offense is run
I mean when you play on a pass heavy team and competing with 2 other backs for snaps what do you expect
Congrats on the 5 year anniversary bro!
Man I can't believe I've been watching you for 5 years. I was just entering HS as a freshman back then, and just getting into football! My oh my how times have changed
This video aged poorly…Lenny is killing it this season
Yeah, 1200 scrimmage yards and he had to split time with jones. Fournette is FAR from a bust, and is in the upper echelon of backs in the league.
I mean he was ok, not terrible, but not the upper tier of backs
@@michaeljordansgrandchild8976 huh? He is literally a top 3 back in the league. You high
@@Bravetrain13 no he isn’t he didn’t have 1000+ rushing yards yards and only had 8 tds. He was a solid multipurpose back but no top 3 in the league bs. I didn’t say he was trash, all I said was he is not in the top echelon of backs, that is reserved for backs like Henry and Taylor.
@@michaeljordansgrandchild8976 nah he's definitely in the top echelon. You're punishing him for being with Brady in an extremely pass heavy offense. Henry is in a league of his own. But I'd take Fournette over Taylor. Are you a colts fan lol
GREAT JOB KTO!
5 years and counting of great content!
My good friend Zack is a LSU fan and I’m a Irish fan when they played in the music bowl I believe it was when I saw Leonard Fournette run I was like that’s a grown ass man lol 😂
One of the biggest what ifs for me with a running back is Noel Devine. I remember my brother showing me some of his high school highlights where it seemed like no amount of potential tacklers or lack of running Lanes stopped him from scoring. It was like Barry Sanders 2.0, but after a decent time at West Virginia nothing much else came of his football career.
Truly My new Fav RB, and Before him it was Lynch. I Remember watching Him Carry that TD run in the SB and I went Nuts. I remember Seeing that First vid and Even then Your content was thickkkkk respect 🙏👍
My biggest takeaway from this video: “So THAT is what KTO stands for…”
I’ve always loved your channel since you started keep up the good work
It’s been 5 years since the legend was on yt man I love ur vids, never stop uploading plz
I have a feeling you shall release another video in 5 years on how you were wrong with this video. Fournette has been bawling this season!!
Happy 5 year anniversary bro! Congrats on making it this far, keep it up 👍
Ayyy congrats on the 5 year anniversary been here since 1k subs let’s go man!
I also thought I could run back in the day. 4.67 in the 40 was my best ever as a wing T QB. One of my class mates ran a 10.54 in the 100m as a freshman and won states 2/4 years in high school. He ran a 4.31 unassisted, in sneakers at a football camp in front of some pretty notable college coaches. One year he came second in front of johnathon Baldwin. He ended up taking a full ride to a major university, and never made it to the olympics, because in his own words”dude I’m slow as fuck compared to these guys.”
This dude was 5-11 208 in high school. He had an 83 yard run one time that still blows my mind how quickly he got down the field.
"Karsten the Oracle" So THAT'S what KTO means
As a Bama fan. I love to watch this channel. Even if you made a video about the playoff. Over the years I get people hate on us because of our dominance. I would like to give you credit by making that Alabama video when we weren't that great. Thank you for recognizing that we aren't so bad, and gave credit for our dominance with Bryant. Anyways happy 5 year anniversary and hope your channel grows and prospers from here on out.
Great comment!!! RTR!!!!
@@jesusisking7886 thanks
I remember when he was in college and he was a beast hopefully he can bounce back. happy 5 year anniversary kto
Your channel is straight legit. I’ve seen every video 3x and out you and Flemlo on the top. Nice hearing guys that actually played ball in HS and college talk football.
Congrats on 5 years KTO.
Dude was a beast in college! But in the NFL, everyone is a beast…
I am from New Orleans and have seen Leonard Fournette aka Buga play since high school. He is by far the best player I have ever seen.
I hope this dude KTO know just how much of a roll he plays in my downtown. His shows get me thru football season and I definitely learn a lot. Thanks dude🙏🏾⚓️
He's a Superbowl champion, was an instrumental part of the Bucs playoff run. And just rambled off almost 100 yards last night on a rain soaked night in New England. I'd say he's doing pretty well for himself.
Love you KTO! Been here ever since the jack youngblood video here! great vid btw, agreed with everything u said in the video.
This was my fav video I love going back to rewatch it love u bro
Dude you started CZcams right when I started my first real job
I'm much older than you but in 2016 I decided to get my shit together and I discovered your channel near the beginning
Awesome stuff
This was an awesome video. You're intro had me hooked lmaoo
Been watching your stuff since the fournette video!! Can’t believe how much better you continue to get!!
Thank you for your content KTO🙌🏾
wow i didn’t realize that was your first video i subscribed that day!
KTO. You are insane. Read my mind. I was literally thinking today, KTO should probably make a fournette video. I was thinking the same thing earlier today but then realized what he did in the playoffs and he does have a ring
Always look forward to the videos !
He literally proved you wrong again this season. He was a beast this year. 1400 All-Purpose Yards, 10 Tds, 69 Receptions,....all despite missing the last three games of the season.
Seeing those old thumbnails are so nostalgic to me now! Congrats on 5 years of amazing content
Congrats on your success, KTO. I think Fournette will have a productive NFL career. He’s shown great strength and the Jaguars were idiots to give up on him so prematurely.
Dude I remembered watching that video right when it came out.
Can’t believe it’s actually been 5 years.
Congrats kto love all of your videos
Well I watched him run over the colts and run for 4 touchdowns
I know it's early in the year but given how he's playing i'd love to see an updated version of your Dak can win the Cowboys a SB vid.
If you're curious on looking up KTO, his name is Karsten Niederer and he went to sacramento state ! dude was a speedster
I love this guy. Woulda never thought this channel is as old as his career lol
I didn't know it's only been 5 years for you! Congratulations man.
Glad he got his Career back on Track! He was a Baller at LSU and is doing Numbers for my Fantasy team this year ‘!
I find these to be some of the most interesting football players. Incredible hype out of college, clearly not the same in NFL but at least not a total bust.
You mentioned Reggie Bush. Brian Bosworth also comes to mind. He did it to himself, acting like a cartoon supervillain but he wasn't terrible at the NFL level, just... underwhelming.
Bro all these uploads I love!
Wow I never knew you were a good player and a beast in track too! Good job!
Amazing accomplishment keep the great work out man
You're a year younger than me, damn!
I've been enjoying your videos for the past 4 years! Keep at it man!
I worked with aunt and cousin, I am not an LSU fan, but we cheered for him
Thank you KTO for seatgeek I was able to get absolute bargains to watch my college team play
