Ex-LSU Star Jacob Hester Is GLAD Leonard Fournette's Skipping Bowl Game (VIDEO)

Leonard Fournette is getting major support from another LSU football great -- Jacob Hester -- who says the RB has WAYYYY too much at stake to play in the Citrus Bowl.

Hester was a stud for the Tigers back in the day -- leading the team to a national championship in 2007.

And even though Hester still bleeds Purple and Gold, he says the entire LSU family should be understanding and supportive of Leonard skipping the bowl game because he can't risk a potentially "life-changing" NFL contract.
