Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard weighed 234 pounds when he was drafted last April. The All-Pro was down to around 217 pounds in the final few games of the season but is now at 221 pounds and is hoping to keep his weight below the 225 mark as he enters his sophomore season. "I’m not a typical linebacker," Leonard, who also became a new father this offseason, says of why he wants to weigh far less than most linebackers. "I’m more of a speed guy, very athletic so if I’m going to play in space, I’m going to need to move." The Defensive Player of the Year had a league-best 163 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, seven sacks, eight passes defensed, four forced fumbles and two interceptions. He has a chance to be a special player and will surely be one of the first few linebackers selected in IDP leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
