Brian Leonard, instantly on draft day became of my favorite NFL players, has looked impressive during the preseason taking the load off of Steve Jackson.
One of his more impressive feats in college was on several occasions leaping over defenders. Below is one of those over Louisville. Last night, he greeted the NFL with yet another, leaping Fabian Washington above.
I love Brian Leonard, but I just have a bad feeling that he's going to try that one too many times in the NFL and ended up splattered like a bug on a windshield. There's no problem doing that in the open field, but doing that in traffic will get him killed.
Unfortunately, this was the highlight of the game for the Rams last night. I have to admit, I wasnt overly excited that the Rams went offense with there 2nd round pick but so far, Leonard has proven to be well worth it. Obviously, the jury is out on just how effective he'll be once the regular season rolls around but as of now, all signs point to him seeing the field alot and getting plenty of chances in the Rams offense
