Formerly a disruptive edge, then a massive right tackle for FSU
In the 2016 season, Rick Leonard’s best value was his rare size-athleticism combo: he began at defensive end, then Florida State moved him to offensive tackle because the staff saw higher upside in his length and foot speed. By the 2016 season, he had started six games at right tackle, and he entered 2017 as a senior after being rated a four-star recruit and a top Maryland prospect out of high school. If you want a developmental trench piece with versatility and upside, Leonard was the kind of no-nonsense project coaches loved to bet on.
