My Take
What strikes me about Chris Leak is his refusal to let a single NFL season define him. Leading Florida to the 2007 BCS title is the kind of college peak many quarterbacks never recover from emotionally, yet he kept chasing the game north into Canadian football. I read that not as a fall but as devotion. The quarterbacks I admire most are rarely the ones with the gaudiest pro stats; they're the ones who keep finding a field to throw on. Leak feels like one of those grinders, a champion who valued the play over the spotlight.
