Former Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette challenged Emmanuel Acho to a fight after Acho criticized how Caleb Williams handled his hamstring injury.
Former NFL running back Leonard Fournette harshly criticized analyst Emmanuel Acho on his podcast over comments Acho made about Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. Fournette, who won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, challenged Acho to a fight and accused him of making inflammatory remarks for attention.
Williams was hurt during Chicago's Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and was taken off the field on a gurney. Reports later indicated the quarterback had strained his hamstring, an injury less serious than initially feared.
Fournette argued that Acho, a former player himself, should understand how difficult it is to recover from a hamstring injury. He questioned why Acho would criticize how a young athlete copes with pain and said Acho's commentary amounted to clickbait.
