I don’t want to sound rude here, but what the hell is the point of this? Seriously, what is the point of this stunt?
Is Fournette trying to get better at football or is he auditioning to be a circus act?

How does taping money to your pads make you a better football player? How does it help the team? The answer is that it doesn’t.
It’s just an unnecessary distraction, and it’s also stupid. If he wants to do stuff like this, then he can stay home and do it.
The last thing I’d want as a coach would be a player taping up money to his pads.

These are the kinds of stunts you get dragged for long after they’re done. Fournette better hope the Jaguars have a great year. If not, this won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
