@@ChaosFilmsSports chill. There's currently only 2 middle linebackers even thought as potential hall of famers. Luke kuelchy and Bobby Wagner. Then you got tier 2 guys like donta hightower, deion Jones, and cj Mosley. Tier 3 is McKinney, kwon, Eric kendricks, Danny trevathan, and Blake Martinez
From a former Bulldog LB....DL is an "ANIMAL!!!!", I LOVE WATCHING HIM PLAY..along with my cousin, and his fellow teammate, CLAYTON GEATHERS. Despite being snub on being a pro bowler.....you still shined! The Colts have a young hungry squad...continue to grow and play smart and hard!!! If u screw up, it better be at 110%!!!
Top LB in the league. Not just rookies, all LBs. There is not one thing that Leonard doesn’t do well at his position. They even had him covering Hopkins one on one several times during the Texans game. Biggest steal of last years draft for sure. So glad he’s a Colt!
R B no way he’s the best and they did pad his stats, but he is going to be one of the top LBs in the league and if he touches you you’re going to be tackled that’s for sure
As a Colts and LSU fan, when i seen Joseph Addai come out I was sure we would take Derrius Guice.. i was so disappointed when we took Leonard .. i still feel idiotic to this day 😂
Vikings fan here but I love how this guy plays. I watched the eagles game live and this man made me a believer in colts defense instantly. Kinda like watching Arron Donald during his rookie year. You can just tell they have that star factor.
I never realized how crazy his Arm Length/Wing Span was. He’s in the 95th %tile for both, and in the 89th %tile for his hand size. Dudes gonna be an all time great.
Also Kenny Moore has been pretty good for us this year if there’s enough footage I hope you can possibly make a highlight tape of him. Love the colts videos as usual. #ColtsNation
there is a video of his highlights for us this year and might i say its a good collaborated video! hes been awesome for us this year, and next year, if we get a D-line to go with Moore and "The Maniac"-#53, we will be very hard to beat, by anyone! and with Chris Ballard as our GM, im confident, and super excited to see what next season holds for us! #ColtsNation #BleedBlue
That chiefs game proved that u have to keep Moore and Leonard no matter what, yes our guys on defense didn’t quit or give up at all, they kept fighting, but Leonard and Moore definitely kept their energy up the whole game, and made plays to the very end, Leonard, when the game seemed over, made that incredible forced fumble and recovered it, u got a future superstar in Leonard, and possibly another one in Moore, at the very least a Star player in him, can’t wait till next season
Couldnt agree more! If we get a D-line to go with Moore and "The Maniac", we will be extremely hard to beat! Even if Luck is playing the worst he has, and even if Mack doesnt run but half of his potential! Because with a D-line to go with those two, i dont see many teams scoring over 17, or maybe 21 points, AT MOST, against this new and highly improving team, but mostly DEFENSE! #BleedBlue #LetsGoColts #SoonToBeSuperior
That final play is one of those, "Imma turn this game around myself" plays that only the very special players in the NFL can make. Not only was it a tackle for loss already, but a forced fumble AND a recovery! Absolutely fantastic.
Been a colts fan a long time. Never have I seen a team of “no names” gel so fast. It’s definitely the #COLTURE & Leonard is the rookie LB I’ve been waiting years for. Just a kid of had that chip on his shoulder and swag. A guy you cannot ignore and you have to game plan for. Yes he struggled in pass coverage but he did many more things great then he did bad. Anxious to see his year 2.
He was ok in pass coverage this season. I am pretty confident that he will improve in that area by next season. I would like another linebacker drafted by the colts in the later rounds for additional depth.
@@pchurch90pc he grades better on pass coverage than people give him credit for just not as good as other rookie stars james and LVe but Darius is a sideline to sideline presence menace for the run and has a natural rush ability.
Leonard wasn’t bad in pass coverage at all he made several big plays dropping back like breaking up the pass on 4th down against Houston that was huge in winning that game.
I’ll be honest. I originally wasn’t too high on this pick. Then we played the Skins and I absolutely fell in love with The Maniac. Leonard and Walker are a fantastic LB duo!
After these last 2 drafts, I shouldn’t see any Chris Ballard slander. His 2018 draft grade should be an A. - Quenton Nelson, Darius Leonard All Pro - Braden Smith played really good at OT. -Tyquan Lewis played well. - Hines and Wilkins were nice additions to the back field - Still believe Deon Cain will be a beast
SUPER BEAST. I think he's gonna be a pro bowler. I know we haven't seen anything yet, but man do I feel it happening lol. Something about Clemson receivers man 💪🏻
I’m hoping we get a corner in the 1st round and draft miles boykin in the fifth so we can get a big body receiver. Plus Boykin talked about how it would be cool to play with Nelson
Just wait till Ballard builds around this guy, our defense should be pretty good. Our team should he really good. Just look at the Chief team Ballard built! #GOCOLTS
For sure this is a defensive heavy draft tho so I think we should draft defence and go out in free agency to get a couple weapons we need a better pass rush
From a cowboys fan colts nation got a beast at that linebacker position very football smart hard hitter clean tackler play caller all you look for in a linebacker I'm scared to say this but the man can only get better
Now deforest bruckner, Houston. The other dude from the niners autry we gonna be straight dogs on defense. Fountain is gonna have a huge season paris and ty. And pascal and whoever we draft hopefully ol boy from Notre dame even the Higgins. Ballard is genius. If you agree smash that LIKE BUTTON!!!
Have not been this happy to be a fan in a long time. Its hard watching your team sh@# the bed consistently. I really hope nothing comes of the the Eberflus visit with Cleveland.
Really enjoyed watching this...I must be honest when we picked him in the draft I was like..who?..from where?..S Carolina St?..thats frikn DivII school..WTF!!...BUT man I didnt know what I was talkin bout..C Ballard hit a home run with this pick..We now have our "Ray Lewis" type LB flying around causing havoc on Sundays for the next decade...should be fun to watch.. #12InLuckWeTrust
Luke Johnson Turay started hot then fell on the depth chart pretty quickly. Tyquan was pretty good coming of the injury and not having any preseason or time to warm up.
@@SportDawgs Tell that to Antonio Brown after everything that just went down in Pittsburg all of last season. Now let's see if Mahomes can live up to expectations, with him being Madden 20 Cover, and probably not having Hill to throw the ball to.
I don't have the money to go to these games next year i want to see alot more people at the home games it would really help our defence if the dome was louder even pat McAfee is on record talking to Ballard about how the dome was to quiet
you know he is good if he is a rookie and has a 18 minute highlight vid on him
And when people are comparing him to Derrick Brooks and Jack Ham in only his Rookie Season.
@@miniHAWKTTV i want to see him in canton someday

@Chris Paul what does Wagner do better than Darius
Big Dog for years to come. Bad Bad Boy
Chris Ballard struck platinum by drafting Darius Leonard. WHAT A SEASON he had!
Nobody knew wtf was going on when Ballard drafted this man and how soon we all met the best rookie LBer of all time

Leonard won DROY and is 1st team All Pro.
That's already Superstar status bud
We are literally about A above average corner and a edge rusher away from afc championship/super bowl
He's a Maniac on the field I sure know...... What a season. What a baller.
This man has been trip to watch this season. I got my 53 jersey in the mail
That final play is one of those, "Imma turn this game around myself" plays that only the very special players in the NFL can make. Not only was it a tackle for loss already, but a forced fumble AND a recovery! Absolutely fantastic.
Leonard is a beast.
DL is the the real deal, Dude can play, Plus he is a great person!
Leonard, Nelson, Smith, Wilkins, Hines, Lewis!
This is one of the best drafts that the colts had!
One of the best ever
I still believe in turay
I think he will develop and be much better next season.
I like Matt Adams too colts should be scary this year
Colts nation stand up, representing from south tx Harlingen ,we super bowl 🏟 bound this year baby

@J B ahahhahahah funny

I’ll be honest. I originally wasn’t too high on this pick. Then we played the Skins and I absolutely fell in love with The Maniac. Leonard and Walker are a fantastic LB duo!
I think we were halfway through game 2 when I told my Eagles fan buddy "This kid is transcendent" He just gets everything, he's the full package
Ballard hit a grand slam with Leonard. Just imagine how good he will be in a couple years. I'd say he is a keeper.
Can’t wait for next year Ballard knows that he has to build that defence around Darius!
I LOVE that he goes for the strip every single play without compromising tackling form. Such a beast
The Colts got the 2 best players in this draft
Criminal he wasn't in Pro Bowl
Yes!!! Tears to my eyes
Hell of a player . I'm glad the colts got him ✊🏻
After these last 2 drafts, I shouldn’t see any Chris Ballard slander. His 2018 draft grade should be an A.

I mean luck, ebron, nelson where shoe ins for pro bowl. and hilton as well as deff darius Leonard should of gone
I’m hoping we get a corner in the 1st round and draft miles boykin in the fifth so we can get a big body receiver. Plus Boykin talked about how it would be cool to play with Nelson
@Kyle Deming we have second pick.
I love this team so much I can’t wait till next season. GO COLTS!
Kid is a stud!!!
Just wait till Ballard builds around this guy, our defense should be pretty good. Our team should he really good. Just look at the Chief team Ballard built!
#GOCOLTS
This defense will be a lot better by next season. Ballard will fix the issues within the defense through a great draft.
17 minutes of Maniac #ColtsNation
I am here to say... ColtsNation lost all the right to criticize Ballard's decisions
The Colts got Quenton Nelson and Darius Leonard in back-to-back rounds in the same draft. That is a goodass haul.
Leonard + a year of experience + HUGE chip on his shoulder = bad news for opposing offenses this season. I can't wait to watch it happen!
Who's going to be the Ed Reed to our Ray lewis!
Just saying. The Defense did more than enough for us to win on Saturday
Marquise Parker im not to sure about “more” than enough. BUT, they did do plenty and gave us plenty of opportunities to comeback in the game.
@@captainblackbeard7520 5 stops (6 if you dont count running into kicker) and almost a complete shut out in 2nd half against the #1 O is crazy
For sure this is a defensive heavy draft tho so I think we should draft defence and go out in free agency to get a couple weapons we need a better pass rush
messer e we need proven commodities via free agency on offense, and just load up on young defensive talent on defense.
2nd half, yes for the most part. 1st half, absolutely not. KC was moving the ball at will on them.
This young man is a homerun pick.
This looks like a career highlight reel. 4 real. Get it
Every player deserves a highlight from this year 💪💪
From a cowboys fan colts nation got a beast at that linebacker position very football smart hard hitter clean tackler play caller all you look for in a linebacker I'm scared to say this but the man can only get better
Got one more highlight you need to add to this video: his speech for WINNING the Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
Now deforest bruckner, Houston. The other dude from the niners autry we gonna be straight dogs on defense. Fountain is gonna have a huge season paris and ty. And pascal and whoever we draft hopefully ol boy from Notre dame even the Higgins. Ballard is genius. If you agree smash that LIKE BUTTON!!!

GOOD? He was 1st in tackles!!! GREAT more like it! Lets GO COLTS NATION!!!!
Oooo yeah he’s dope but hey you should totally make a Quenton Nelson season highlight vid he was baddass
Michael Fidler he’s not better than marshal Yanda

I love Darius Leonard. Class act. HoF. Goat.
He should have been in the pro bowl
I remember being at an SC State home game and there must've been 25 NFL scouts in the stands that night watching him
Thank you for this highlight. Colts french fan.
Marlon Mack next please???
You have to use "Return of the Mack" song for his highlights.
Scary man
Represent for them HBCU'S! I LOVE MY HBCU
Jackson State University Alumni here!
Ballard got a crazy steal in a 2nd round which he could’ve easily been a first round
Wow what a video! Tremendous stuff🙌🏼
Deserves DROY
You know when watching highlights of defensive players that there'll be a part featuring Raiders!
AWESOME
Missing my Colts already. Thanks for helping!
Should have gotten both defensive player and defensive rookie player of the year
Keep up the videos. I've been watching for a few years. Colts are going all the way next season
He came to play, he came to win!!! "So hard to be a SC State Bulldog"!!!
You shouldve showed Leonard's reaction to getting drafted at the beginning of the vid when his name was announced
- And he missed a game!
Have not been this happy to be a fan in a long time. Its hard watching your team sh@# the bed consistently. I really hope nothing comes of the the Eberflus visit with Cleveland.
Cleveland hired Freddie Kitchens. Reich said he is expecting both coordinators back next season 👍
@@dernify thanks
Itll take me a year to get over the Colts not taking advantage of that last play on Watkins. Game over right there
Padded his stats like crazy
When?
What lmao
I love the T.Y. Hilton videos you make, first a good rap song then a sad/quiet song.
it's sad because he got fucked over by the league and should of won droy
Dylan Wheeler he did win it lmao
I love you Collin
Effortlessly
Joesph Addai called him that’s why Leonard so great 😂
Colts are not that good in drafts, but this one was a great one!
Kenny moore next would be nice 👍🏼
13:40 savage... I went crazy during the game 😂😂😂
Kenny Moore next‼️‼️‼️
Now we need a legit pass rusher and a shutdown cornerback
Bebe Cakes and a 2nd WR would be nice,maybe a miles Boykin drafted late?
I was thinking we get S Landon Collins
We got all three in this spring...can`t wait till next season!

Nelson has to be next!!
Bleacher Report called him one of the worst picks of the draft... couldn’t have been more wrong
How did you like Turay and Lewis this season? They both impressed me and I don't think we need to draft another top pass rusher
Luke Johnson Turay started hot then fell on the depth chart pretty quickly. Tyquan was pretty good coming of the injury and not having any preseason or time to warm up.
We absolutely need a elite pass rusher
6` 10" wingspan! ;)
Those long arms make the stiff arm useless against him.
