I'm not so sure about that.He’s better than vigil Rey and Evans hands down and brown and burfict are ur run stoppers. We need an athletic freak who can fly we need speed and toughness at the position. Not these soft mediocre late round bandaids who never amount to anything. For the future Leonard burfict and brown would be outstanding and pairing Leonard with brown is a much better option while burfict is out than let’s say Rey’s old slow mediocre play. Or Evans who’s fast but doesn’t know what to do when he gets there as he’s soft as a muffin or there’s vigil who just is what he is. A mid round linebacker for depth and special teams. Leonard forte may not be stopping the run. But the dude is a poor mans shazier and with burfict and brown we need someone to put with those two who can fly not another late round trash talent or Rey vigil or Evans. They solve nothing.
Ohh and just to prove that the jury is still out on Leonard against the run,, here’s the report for Darius Leonard off SBNation.com
Strengths: Stout against the run game, seems to play with some tenacity when rushers are going head first. Played in a 4-3 defensive end at SC State, but seems to have the body to play inside or outside linebacker. Flows to the ball instinctively, and plays with a low center of gravity. No one is going to run past him, and he’s not a pushover when being challenged in a hole. Fast hands when engaged in a block. His speed rush is a dream move. He can turn the corner on almost any offensive lineman, seen against Senior Bowl competition really taking advantage of a slower lineman. Really great at big hits, as he’s always looking for contact
The guy can play. He may not be an ideal run stopper but he is wild and scared of nothing. Reminds me of a telvin smith Alex ogleteee. I don’t give a rats ass if they aren’t huge backers gimme someone like that with brown and burfict and our defense is lights out. U guys are outa ur mind. Leonard is a playmaker which this team needs more of. We need speeeeeeed.
