Leonard Fournette Fires NSFW Twitter Banter at Calais Campbell Following Jaguars-Ravens Trade
By Sean Facey
The Jacksonville Jaguars shipped out one of their biggest defensive stars on Sunday, and standout running back Leonard Fournette had some choice words on the situation.
After learning that monster defensive lineman Calais Campbell was traded to the Baltimore Ravens, Fournette jokingly bemoaned the deal.

The two players and their respective teams are scheduled to square off against each other in 2020, and it's hard to blame Fournette for not being thrilled about the matchup.
Campbell is a five-time Pro Bowler and former All-Pro who has made his name as an elite defensive lineman against the run. As a running back, trying to run past his 300-pound frame must be nothing short of a nightmare.
Calais Campbell is one of three players in the NFL with at least 50 tackles & 6.5 sacks in each of the past three seasons. He's long, powerful, athletic, disruptive & one of the most respected people in the NFL. He's missed just 6 games in 12 years.

What a coup for Baltimore.
Over the last three years, he's been particularly brutal to face. He has logged 137 total tackles and 44 tackles for a loss. Fournette has quite the task ahead of him.
The two of them will have plenty of fun with their future matchup, though, and it'll be interesting to see who comes out on top when they play in this upcoming NFL season.
