Leonard was more of a Half Back/Full Back hybrid. He had a lot of heart and a leap but Burkhead is a lot different
in my honest opinion cause he is a much better runner when given the chance and is much quicker. Brian Leonard
might be overrated by some but i think that is cause he willed us to wins and the one against Pitt stands out.
Burkhead is way more verstatile than Leonard cause he can play the Slot with his quicks and hands.
The leap was his demise.
It became painfully obvious that he would do it every time, so guys could bait him and line him up in the air for an easy tackle.
If he had added a few extra moves to the repertoire, he might have lasted a little longer.
