Rice OL Mike Leone: experienced depth piece with upside when healthy
Mike Leone is an experienced Rice offensive lineman whose biggest value is reliability when available: he was an Honor Roll selection in 2021, 2022 and 2023, and Rice notes he did not see action in 2023 after suffering an injury, so the key question is durability rather than talent. His fit is as a steady, coachable trench piece who can help a team’s depth, but he is most appealing if you want a player with developmental upside and aren’t counting on immediate, full-season availability.
