The confidence in Leonard Fournette is there.

And although Jaguars Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tom Coughlin said on Thursday that confidence must continue to be earned, it is nonetheless real.

Fournette, the No. 4 overall selection by the Jaguars in the 2017 NFL Draft who struggled on and off-the-field in his second season this past season, was as expected a topic Thursday when Coughlin spoke to the media.
