Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is ready to play after injuries kept him off the field for eight games last season.
"I put a lot on myself this offseason -- getting my body right, and just mentally coming back ready to play football," Fournette said after practice Friday, .
He averaged just 3.3 yards per carry on 133 totes when he was healthy enough to play. The third-year back says he's ready to turn the page.
"This is a new year, and we have a new team," he said. "It's a new everything. It's a clean start for a lot of us guys. We're not focused on the past. The past is the past.
"Some things I did in the offseason, I've admitted I was wrong. We've moved on. We're in a good place right now. We're in a good spot."
New offensive coordinator John DeFilippo plans on Fournette in his offense in 2019.
"He's going to be a major reason where our offense goes," he stated. "I'm not going to sugarcoat that. Leonard Fournette needs to be a big part of this offense."
Now Fournette just has to stay healthy for a season.
