NFL free agent running back Leonard Fournette is in some deep water after a video has resurfaced of him with recently arrested Sean “Diddy” Combs.
On Tuesday, Diddy was arrested and now awaits trial for being involved in a federal sex trafficking case.
The video seems to be Diddy giving a toast or speech to a group of men with Fourtnette and rapper Jay-Z standing behind him.

Many people online are confused as to how Fournette even ended up in this situation and are now questioning why he was there in the first place.

“Leonard Fournette being in clip is still one of the funniest yet most confusing things ever,” said one
“Leonard Fournette was there because of Jay Z. Jay Z introduced him to the underworld. The sh*t is deep ain’t it,” said another.
“The fact that Leonard fournette is in the background makes this so much more interesting to me. Like “tf is he doing there?” Type questions,” added a third.
Of course, it does seem like such a random person to be caught in the middle of all this controversy. It’s certainly one of the last reasons many thought Fourtnette would be trending.
Fournette’s NFL Career Seems To Be Over
As he is still a free agent two weeks into the 2024 regular season, Fournette doesn’t seem likely to play this year.
The last time he got touches in a game was in 2023 for the Bills when he appeared in two games but did not start either. He rushed for just 40 yards and zero touchdowns on 12 attempts.
It’s certainly a fall from grace for a player who rushed for over 1,000 yards in his third season in 2019.
Now, at 29 years old, it wouldn’t be surprising if Fournette never makes it back onto an NFL roster.
