Here's the weaknesses from NFL.com, NFLDraftScout, and Walter Football.

Consistent across:
1) Lack of growth potential
2) Not good at getting off blocks
3) Not good instincts
4) Lack of aggression
Yes, there have been sites that say he's good in run defense...but when those same sites say he struggles getting off blocks, I interpret that as he can defend the run as long as he doesn't have to shift through traffic. And that's primarily a WILL. For Leonard to start and do well, he's going to need to play WILL. And in order to do that, you need to move Brown to SAM and Burfict to MIKE, two things the Bengals will not do.
The point was to show that there are conflicting reports saying that he can play the run sooooooo thanks
