Was a little disappointed to see how many people jumped to pile on Leonard after the Harrison pick. Can we appreciate not only what he did here as a player, but how hes behaved since getting cut?
Not only did he take responsibility for stepping on toes and helping create this situation, but still did community work in Indy after getting cut. He then backs that up with attending the game and smiling and waving to home fans
He’s handled this situation so gracefully and you can tell he loved this franchise. We should all be wishing him the best

Solid dude. Washed player. Time to move on.
Disappointed by a reddit reaction…good luck in your future endeavors.
Ok Vince
He was one of the greatest defensive players we had in a long time. He was the bright star on our defense. From 2018-2021, he was one of the top linebackers in the league. He started to slow down near the end of 2021 and we all know how 2022 and 2023 went but remember these stats:
-2018 Defensive Rookie of the Year
-First Team All-Pro (2018, 2020, 2021)
-Second Team All-Pro (2019)
-Pro Bowl (2019-2021, and let’s be real, he got snubbed from 2018)
-Had the most forced fumbles in 2021
-Had the most tackles in 2018
Great player but his body just couldn’t keep it up anymore unfortunately. He should be in the Colts Ring of Honor eventually
It’s hard for most people to take off the “Colts fan” hat and put on the “Best Decision for the team” hat. Great guy, was a great player, best move for the team going forward. We can all be correct
It was cool to see Lucas Oil show him on the jumbotron at the game. That was a cool moment. Also Chuck Pagano on the kiss cam was funny.
Pagano was on the chop wood cam.
Lmao you joke but he was actually on the kiss cam
I’m disappointed by a lot of people’s reaction to him as a whole. Heard a guy named Donald Thomas(used to pay for us) in the Lawerence Owen’s podcast/YouTube channel say that Leonard was basically never that good and he was just making “splash plays” and now that his mobility is fucked, he can’t really do much. Granted, yes, Leonard is a shell of his former shelf right now, but no way in hell was Leonard just a splash play guy. Dude literally transformed our defense. Wish him the best and hopefully he can return to his old self.
He seems like a good dude but he’s paid to play football and since his surgery he’s not the same player. He’s definitely not worth his salary as he isn’t the best (or even second best) linebacker on the team. It makes no sense for him to publicly ask for more playing time when he wasn’t playing well to begin with. He was going to be waived, the only question was the timing of it.
