Well the Jets fans will find out how mediocre he is soon enough. He was with the Bills three years and he's not very good. Slow, average tackler, and can't make big plays without help. I have to imagine the Jets could have done just as well plugging a 2nd or 3rd round pick in there. He started 2007 with the Bills second string behind Ko Simpson. Simpson suffered a season ending injury in week one moving Leonhard up to first string. He quickly proved ineffective and was demoted to second string in favor of George Wilson who had been switched from wide receiver in the preseason. Wilson then went down for the season and Leonhard was back in a starting role. A few weeks later they benched him yet again, this time for waiver wire pick up Bryan Scott. Not surprisingly he was allowed to walk after the season.
