CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Had 164 total tackles playing for Grambling State on the DL.
  • 3rd round pick in 1986 of the Kansas City Chiefs.
  • Situational starter on the line early in career used at DT and NT, that developed into fulltime starter in the middle of the ’89 season.
  • Had 6 tackle, 2.5 sack game against Houston Oilers during that season, earned him player of the week honors.
  • Had 263 total tackles after the ’92 season.
  • Retired after the 1993 season.

NOTES:

Well, card companies cashed in on Leonard after he got that NFL Player of the Week Honor in 1989 for roughing up the Oilers. He had zero cards before that and then Score, Topps and Fleer all added Leonard in their respective sets for 1990. The shot above from the GameDay card is probably from that game as well.
