No doubt about that and he does run extremely hard but I think he needs to learn how to avoid some of those hard licks if wants to stay healthy in the long run
He has the tools let's hope he refines em in the next year or so
This was kinda my second question about him. How can he maintain that downhill style in the SEC? Seems there would be a choice to be made by Miles.... either maintain the bruising style or teach him to avoid contact so he can be a 25 carry a game back.

Would be nice to see what he can do if he doesn't play a series then sit out two series. Backs and their line need to get in a flow. Rb by committee keeps em fresh but rarely allows a huge rushing day with breaking a long run.

I have had this thought, too. I'm afraid Leonard will have a short NFL career if he keeps running the way he is running. But it seriously could go either way.
Exhibit A: Stevan Ridley - bruiser who has had a pretty good 4 year run in the league.
Exhibit B: Spencer Ware - bruiser who got drafted and placed on injured reserve almost immediately, subsequently released after playing in two NFL games
