Brian Leonard
FB | (6'1", 226, 4.52) | RUTGERS
Overall: Leonard was redshirted in 2002. He played in all 12 of Rutgers' games in 2003, starting 10 contests and finishing that season averaging 4.1 yards per carry for a team-leading 880 yards with nine touchdowns. He also led the team in receptions (53) for a total of 488 yards and five receiving touchdowns that season. In 2004, Leonard started 10 games, missing the Syracuse game (10/2) due to injury, and again led his team in rushing with 732 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns while averaging 3.7 yards per carry. He caught more passes (61) for more yards (518) than any running back in the nation and recorded two receiving touchdowns. In 2005, Leonard started all 12 games, averaging 4.3 yards per carry for 740 yards and 11 touchdowns, while also catching a team-high 55 passes for 568 yards and six touchdowns. Leonard started all 13 games at fullback ... For complete overview, strengths and weaknesses, login above or become an Insider.
John Murphy's take: This is one of the best pure football players in this year's draft -- one that is versatile enough to play either running back or fullback at the next level. Leonard bulked up for his senior campaign in order to serve as the lead blocker for Ray Rice, but what impressed both scouts, coaches and teammates alike was that, unlike most potential pro athletes, he put his team and its needs ahead of his own after having gained over 3,900 yards of total offense in his first three seasons with the Scarlet Knights.
He has some of the draft's best hands out of the backfield, having totaled 207 career receptions. He was able to bruise his way to yardage in the second half of games, but he also has quick feet to the hole and can bounce a few carries outside for big gains. A good cutback-style runner, Leonard uses very good vision, balance and power to consistently gain yardage. That said, he needs to make better use of his size once he gets into the open field. He has been susceptible to being tackled around the ankles or when defenders grab at his legs.
Leonard proved to be a viable and productive member of the backfield from the fullback position. A very good cut blocker, he can stand his ground firmly when picking up the blitz. He will dip his head at times and lead in without having the full balance of his body weight underneath him, but his effort is never waning. Leonard's workout numbers will surprise. He has spent the offseason getting his weight back down to the mid-220-pound range while focusing on his explosiveness, speed and quickness in the 40-yard dash and drills. It should not be surprising to see him run in the 4.5 range at the combine.
Cowboys did another trade with the Browns.
cowboys do another draft pick trade with the Browns...
Leonard is really good, he can play at rb. He will take some of the load off of Jackson
He can pick up a blitz, Im sold
What did the Cowboys get in the trade?
Well Leonard looks to be a good pass blocker, that will help out Bulger.
A guy that can get em the first down in the opponent's end of the field.
Also a guy when its 3rd and goal on the 1 could pound it in.
Cowboys got the Browns 3rd, 5th, and 6th I believe
Nah. I just looked on the Cowboys forum. It is their 3rd, 4th & 6th. We gave up the 2nd and one of our 7ths.
But another person said we gave up a 6th round. So its either 6th or 7th we gave up.
leonard just adds to the resurrection of the greatest show on turf. what was the deal?
nevermind.
The Greatest Show on Turf IS back baby
Norv ing Turner
The Greatest Show on Turf IS back baby
Bulger, Jackson, Leonard, Bruce, Bennett, Holt, McMichael
vs.
Warner, Faulk, Bruce, Holt
I'd say so.

Were you a fan of Marty and his playoff record?
I didn't like Marty nor his record, but they could've hired a better coach than Norv Turner.
Man Denver's draft has sucked. After a good offseason the draft seems to be off to a bad start.
