Maybe even tens of thousands.
The Jacksonville Jaguars running back bought seven offensive linemen – five starters and two backups – Rolex watches.
Fournette ran 268 times for 1 Youth Mark Andrews Jersey ,040 yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie. He also had 36 receptions for 302 yards and a score.
”I couldn’t do it myself,” Fournette said Thursday, three days before Jacksonville (10-6) hosts Buffalo (9-7) in an AFC wild-card game. ”I can’t block 11 guys on my own. That’s the O-line and wide receivers, too. They played a big part of contributing to me getting 1,000 yards.”
The former LSU star rewarded his linemen with some wrist bling. Left tackle Cam Robinson, left guard Patrick Omameh, center Brandon Linder, right guard A.J. Cann and right tackle Jermey Parnell will get their watches Friday. Backups Tyler Shatley and Josh Wells, both of whom started four games because of injuries, also will get Rolexes.
”Just show them the dedication for all the hard work they put in to help me to get me where I’m at and all for this team Youth Robert Griffin III Jersey ,” Fournette said. ”Their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.”
Fournette said he picked the watches out himself and had each lineman’s number and initials engraved on the back.
”They got me my 1,000 yards,” he said. ”That’s what I need.”
Fournette finished eighth in the NFL and fifth in the AFC in rushing despite missing three games. He averaged 3.9 yards a carry against the most eight- and nine-man boxes in the NFL. His average was buoyed by touchdown runs of 90 and 75 yards in consecutive games.
Fournette missed one game in October because of a sprained right ankle, another in November because he violated an undisclosed team rule during the bye week and sat out a third time last month because of a bruised right quadriceps muscle.
He has a combined 117 yards rushing the last two games, averaging 3.2 yards a carry.
”I think it’s tough,” coach Doug Marrone said. ”When you’re out for a bit, whether you’re injured or not, especially early in your career, to be able to come back, you don’t come back and start where you left off. … For him Youth Ian Thomas Jersey , he comes back and starts getting in a groove and you go.”
Fournette hopes to get back on track against the Bills, who rank 29th in the league against the run. Buffalo gives up 124.6 yards rushing a game. In the past five weeks, the Bills have allowed nearly 150 yards a game on the ground.
Fournette stopped short of committing to buying expensive watches every year.
”We’ll see how it goes,” he said, laughing.

The Super Bowl will have the usual flyover – except it will be anything but normal.
U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight is scheduled to perform the flyover at the start of the game Sunday. The Heritage Flight will consist of one F-16 Fighting Falcon, two A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, and one P-51 Mustang flying in formation over U.S. Bank Stadium. This is the first time the Heritage Flight team will conduct a flyover for a Super Bowl, and it will be broadcast live on NBC and in U.S. Bank Stadium from multiple vantage points, including from a camera mounted on the P-51 Mustang.
The teams in the flyover for the game will be the F-16 Viper demonstration team from Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina; the A-10 Thunderbolt demonstration team from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Youth Joel Iyiegbuniwe Jersey , Arizona; and a vintage P-51 Mustang from the Air Force Heritage Flight Foundation in California.
”Never before in my more than 35-year flying career have I flown over the world’s biggest sports stage: 111 million eyeballs is quite the audience,” says Steve Hinton, who will pilot the P-51. ”I’m extremely proud to represent the Air Force Heritage Flight Foundation and fly alongside Air Combat Command pilots to honor the countless servicemen and women past and present who selflessly serve our country.”
Hinton has logged more than 7,000 flight hours with World War II fighters at air shows all over the world.
”This particular warbird, Sierra Sue II, is one of my favorites to fly,” he says, adding he hopes he will be ”inspiring a new generation of pilots.”
How fast can vintage airplanes fly? At the same speed as current aircraft for the flyover. They will travel in formation at approximate speeds of 315 to 345 mph at an elevation of 1,000 feet above U.S. Bank Stadium.
”The P-51 Mustang is the most iconic fighter plane from World War II and a powerful symbol of the United States’ aviation combat history,” Hinton explains. ”It was a remarkable aircraft during its era Youth Roquan Smith Jersey , armed with high-caliber machine guns and the ability to carry bombs, rockets and fuel tanks under its wings. By the end of World War II, P-51s had had destroyed almost 5,000 enemy aircraft in the air, more than any other fighter in Europe. It’s a popular fixture in the Heritage Flight performances.”
Flying Sierra Sue II is fitting: In 2015, the plane joined the Wings of the North vintage aircraft collection as the cornerstone of its new museum in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
