There has been very few Heisman winners who achieved long and or successful years in the NFL. So what is the rush this early in the season to push Fournette for the Heisman? First of all is that a fair thing to do to Fournette? It only puts more pressure on him and his team mates which they do not need.
Fournette will not play out his four years at LSU because of his talent and will turn to the NFL soon enough. Sports writers should focus on that problem more than the Heisman. If Fournette does indeed turn out to be one of the finalist for the trophy it will happen naturally, so be satisfied in letting it unfold that way.
A lot of things can happen (both positive and negative) on the way to the Heisman trophy so during the football season Fournette's mind should be on the team and not the hype.
