Free agent running back Leonard Fournette is visiting with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday, ESPN reported.

Fournette, 29, was released by Buffalo on Jan. 16 after appearing in two games for the Bills last season.

Drafted fourth overall by Jacksonville in 2017, Fournette has rushed for 4,518 yards and 34 touchdowns in 81 games (61 starts) with the Jaguars (2017-19), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020-22) and Bills. He has 312 catches for 2,219 yards and seven scores.

Fournette posted 1,000-yard seasons with the Jaguars in 2017 and 2019 and won Super Bowl LV with the Buccaneers.

Dubbed "Playoff Lenny," Fournette has also gained 858 yards from scrimmage with 10 TDs in nine postseason games.

The Indianapolis ground game is led by 2021 NFL rushing champion Jonathan Taylor, backed up by Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson.

The Colts open the season Sunday at home against the AFC South rival Houston Texans.
