Leonard Fournette shared a highlight video of his past season at LSU and Auburn fans may wanna look away because it will feel like a horror movie for them.

Leonard Fournette broke his twitter silence and posted his first tweet in a week on Tuesday when he shared a highlight video of his 2015 season with the LSU Tigers.

The rising junior running back and Heisman Trophy candidate led the nation last year with 162.5 rushing yards per game. Fournette had 300 carries for 1,953 yards and 22 touchdowns and his numbers would have looked even better if the opening game of the season wasn’t rained out against McNeese State otherwise Fournette easily tops the 2,000-yard plateau.

That will likely be one of his many individual goals for the 2016 season, which will be his last at LSU before declaring for the NFL Draft where he could be a top-five pick. Typically, running backs don’t go that high in the draft, but there is nothing typical about Fournette and his game.

Check out the video Fournette posted to his personal twitter account below and you’ll be reminded why. Be warned, the video contains NSFW footage if you’re from Auburn, Florida, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Syracuse, Mississippi State and Texas Tech in particular.

The Auburn game was one of the most dominating performances I’ve ever seen by a college football player in my lifetime. Fournette was unstoppable that day with 228 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 carries. I think the Auburn defense was terrified of Fournette that day as it would be the first of three consecutive 200-yard rushing games for him and the first of four on the season.

Noticeably absent from Fournette’s highlight video was any footage from the LSU-Alabama game when he was limited to 31 yards on 19 carries and a garbage-time touchdown in the 30-16 loss.

If Fournette can find a way to run against the Crimson Tide in 2016, heaven help us, because he may run for 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns because nothing else has been able to slow him down.
