The Colts defense employed a 4-3 scheme that prioritized speed and aggressiveness, particularly from its linebackers, operating with Cover 3 and Cover 2 principles.
A Year 1 starter as a WILL linebacker, Leonard's ceiling is an All-Pro playmaker who consistently leads his team in tackles and generates turnovers.
A more traditional two-gap 3-4 defense that asks its linebackers to consistently take on and shed blocks rather than flow freely to the ball.
Leonard's exceptional instincts and range make him a perfect fit for a modern, read-and-react 4-3 defense where he can freely pursue the ball and make impact plays.
Selected #36 overall in Round 2 of the 2018 NFL Draft by Indianapolis Colts out of South Carolina State.
