according to his trainer,former NO Police Chief Eddie Compass. While Fournette is gifted, he has had special training and coaching since 8th grade. I enjoy the back of the scene stories. And this is one of the best I have read. Many people talk about lessons and training, however, like many smart kids get tutoring, many kids playing athletics are also mentored.
"Compass said people thought he was exaggerating when he described Fournette's workouts because it was so intense and that people would just show up to watch because they wouldn't believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes."
"I also had him do pushups on his knuckles so he could build up his hands so he wouldn't fumble the ball."
