That's fair Rez ...however what about his inability to shed blocks in some of those games? Just imagine what will happen when a NFL caliber tackle put their hands on him?

I have no hate for Leighton as a player but I just believe he's a Day 2 guy.

He didn’t have a lot of experience. He was a reserve as a freshman and hurt most of that next year, but this past year he showed up. I don’t think he’s as strong as he’s going to be either. It’ll probably come with time. I wouldn’t be mad at the pick.
