My Take

I loved watching Darius Shaquille Leonard play, because his game was pure controlled chaos. Out of tiny Nichols, South Carolina, and an under-the-radar program at South Carolina State, he was a second-round pick by the Colts in 2018 and immediately became one of the league's most disruptive linebackers. That instinct for stripping the ball, paired with his long 188 cm frame, isn't something you can teach. Six seasons feels short, and his retirement is a shame, but the fact remains: a small-town unknown clawed his way up and made the whole NFL take notice. For someone like me who roots for the underdog, he was right in the sweet spot.
