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.

If I was picking a mid-round WILL that can fly, I'd personally go after Shaq Griffin. Dude is much faster than Leonard (or any other LB for that matter). He also had 166 tackles, 33.5 TFLs, 18.5 sacks, 10 PDs, 2 INTs, 4 FFs, and 4 FRs the past two seasons in D1 football.
