It wasn't too long ago that we were referring to LSU running back Leonard Fournette as the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. Unfortunately, he disappeared during the final third of the season, and wasn't even nominated for the award.

But he can still make opposing defenders pay for trying to tackle him head-on, especially if they're smaller than he is.

Check out what he did to Texas Tech defensive back Keenon Ward during the first half of the Texas Bowl. Ward attempted to stand his ground and tried to tackle Fournette by his legs. He wasn't even a blip on Fournette's radar, though, as the powerful running back trucked him and just kept on running as if he had absorbed no contact at all.
