Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is in Wyoming working out. Why Wyoming?
“Obviously, when he told me about Wyoming, I was like, ‘Wyoming?’ That might be the first player ever — nothing against Wyoming — but the first ever [to spend his offseason in Wyoming],” Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday. “I’m like, ‘Wyoming? Why are you going to Wyoming?’ But I think hopefully the only thing I can look at it is it’s a sole focus for himself to go out there and train and really get away. So I believe him, and I’m excited for him when he comes back.”
Fournette fell out of shape and out of favor during his second season.
Executive vice president Tom Coughlin publicly criticized Fournette and running back T.J. Yeldon after the Week 17 loss to the Texans. The team later voided the guarantees in Fournette’s contract, a move Fournette is challenging, based on a one-game suspension for leaving the sideline and joining a fight against Buffalo.
