Leon O’Neal Jr. brings veteran ball production and downhill toughness at safety
O’Neal is a physical, experienced defensive back whose calling card has been playmaking around the ball and a willingness to strike in run support; at Texas A&M, he finished his career with 161 tackles and 6 interceptions, including a career-best 48 tackles, 2 picks and 5 pass breakups in 2021. He fits best for teams that value a safety with intensity, leadership and short-area toughness rather than pure recovery speed, and his pro path shows he can still contribute as a dependable veteran presence when used in the right role.
