Can’t believe my favorite player was called a bust and turned out to be a top 5 player in that draft

    Gary Thompson

    @Jacob Perry I read his post several times and nowhere in it does he say he knew who Leonard was before he only says Leonard is his favorite player and he can’t believe he was called a bust lol

    Mike Shively

    @Jacob Perry I mean, I mocked Leonard to us multiple times leading up the draft, just a round later. He wasn’t a complete unknown in draft circles.

    I thought he would be a good fit in our defense, but I had no clue he would be this good.

    Josh Batchford

    @Jacob Perry Favourite player now, not before the draft.

    All I know is that… at long last…. Leonard and Nelson have completely eliminated the word “soft” from any description of the Colts…. and I love it!

    As far as being called a bust and the worst pick of the draft?

    Well…. the feller who wrote that can wear it around his neck for the rest of his career. 🤣🤣🤣

    Damn straight. As a Colts fan, I hope we get a lot more “worst pick in the draft” players coming our way if they are going to go lights out like Maniac.

    By far one of my fav players.

I freaking love Darius

Darius makes watching defense fun. So glad the Colts saw the potential that he had.

I was so hype when he got drafted

Arctic Fox

I remember those bad reviews and I thought: “Nah, Ballard knows what he’s doing.” And he did. 😊

What is Jeff Bezos doing in the crowd at 4:33 lol

When anyone asks what the Colts culture is all about, Colts fans should all just point to Darius Leonard

Daniel Lopez

This made me love the guy even more

Bradley Hignite

this is so inspiring and such a feel good story this man is special and the colts new that when they drafted him

Derek Vidimos

It’s pretty awesome Darius went from “who is that guy??” when we drafted him to “who is better than that guy??” on the field.

Reece KFN

Future HOFer. My favorite player too!! Go Colts🔵⚪️🔵

Nunya Bizness

So humble and so good. Go Five Three!

This guy was definitely a gem, I’ll admit I didn’t realize how good he was going to be.

If I saw Big Q of all people coming at me after I pulled an interception, I would have just let my soul walk out on its own.

    he got pancaked at the beginning of the plat

We went to Jacksonville to watch the game that year and his brother was sitting in front of us with his jersey on barking everytime Darius would make a play. I thought it was pretty cool. I hope he spends his entire career in Indy, he is a perfect fit for our culture, a leader of men, and he is exactly what every player should strive to be like! Thank You #53

I know he’s had some “questionable” tweets/Instagram opinion posts but he genuinely seems like a cool guy. There are much, much worse people in the NFL and he honestly ain’t one. Amazing story, man. Glad to have him on the Colts.

It’s crazy how these haters can try to derail a young man’s career & confidence by callin them words like “busts” or “worst picks” just right after the draft. So glad that Darius was able to shut em all up!

Ryan Johnson

This guy is the epitome of being humble
