  • Leonard is hands down one of the best defenders we’ve ever had, so don’t feel silly about anything.

    • 4 x All-Pro (3 x 1st Team, 1 x 2nd Team)
    • Defensive Rookie of the Year (a season that was, IMO, one of the best LB seasons ever. Go and compare it to the year Luke Kuechly won DPotY)
    • 1 x Forced Fumbles leader
    • 1 x Tackles leader
    • 3 x Pro Bowler
    • All those games he single-handedly turned it in our favour
    • His godly post-season performance in 2018

    If you wanna look at it like this, Robert Mathis “only” got 2 All-Pros. Leonard had exactly the same All-Pro nods as Freeney (3 x 1st Team, 1 x 2nd Team).

    Recency bias will ruin the perception of him for a little bit, but that first four year stretch was unreal. Wear it with pride. I will be.
