Rey Salinas Leightion Vander Esch is a beast as well. Leonard had a better season, but that was because LVE didn’t immediately start like Leonard did. Time will tell on who will be better out of the two, but they’re both gonna be dominant linebackers in the future.
As an NFL fan, Quentin Nelson deserved to be in the top 100. He really helped solidify that O-line and keep Luck upright. I’m really surprised the players didn’t vote him in
He was a 1st-Team-All-Pro that didn't make the list. Which means he was the best player at his position all season, and didn't make it into the top 100? Disrespect.
This dude. Been a colts fan my whole life. He keeps this up, he’s about to enter the Dwight freeney/Robert Mathis/ bob sanders territory for me. He’s everything man.
Kronic Impulse I mean he is probably like 101 through 110 he’s probably the second rated guard behind Martin which is saying a lot he’ll be on next year for sure though
I’ve always wondered if he was as good as his numbers made him out to be, but the fact that the players voted him this high takes some of my doubts away
Dude had at least 4-5 game sealing forced fumbles and picks. I don't think Ive seen a defensive player seal that many victories for his team in a single season since Ed Reed.
Let’s not forget some other with a lot of potential. Like Smith, Edmunds, and maybe Evans. It was a great draft for linebackers. Great draft all around really.
Chris Myers Dont act like your defense is some untouchable force. Texans defense is way better plus our interior line is already set. Colts defense gonna be exposed by Watson and Keke the Colt Killer
Don't SSleep LMAO you got shut out 2nd half and youre blinded by the fact we had no Fuller or Thomas. Our shitty ass left tackle Davenport shut down your no name edge rusher. I cant wait for Keke and Fuller to torch your horrible secondary and see Watt sack Luck 5 more times this year 🤣🤣
Anyone else catch them say he’s the second highest rookie in the top 100? We all know Saquons gonna be on here. That means Quenton Nelson’s not even on the list. Maybe I missed something but a little bit salty colts fan just passing through.
@Colts fan4 Life get in line bro... Saints gave up 2nd fewest sacks last year and had a span from weeks 4-12 where drew didn't get touched (sacked). In that span we played the vikings, eagles, rams, ravens, Bengals, falcons
@Colts fan4 Life not really... The guys that made pro bowl are a few 1st timers on saints o line. And we have the best tackle tandem in football... Both all pros
This gotta be a popularity contest, this man led the league in tackles, had 7 sacks, and 2 interceptions he should be AT LEAST a few spots higher than 26
It’s so good having a great GM. I remember the day of that draft. And I was all hyped wondering who the colts would select. I was on their BR page and looking through twitter and I was seeing people saying that they should take Roquan Smith because our linebackers were sooo bad. Which made sense at the time. But imagine if they did that. We would’ve had a good linebacker. But they would’ve missed out on one of the best lineman prospects of the last few decades. And they wouldnt have drafted the better linebacker in the second round. Chris Ballard is a genius.
How could he get any thumbs down? The man is a tackling machine! great instincts and an engine that never quits. Total snub he wasn’t in the pro bowl!?
Shout out to SOUTH CAROLINA STATE!!!! big ups to the smaller schools. I'm glad south carolinians are being put on notice for like the past 7 years or so.
Proof that pro bowls shouldnt define greatness, it's a popularity vote. This man is a stud and didnt make pro bowl but was all pro and #26 on this list. Players respect him, fans don't
For the love of all that's holy, please Colts hang on to this guy. He will be a Superstar for years to come. We have this problem with letting key guys go. GO COLTS.
This man should be higher considering he lead the league in tackles. What is this league now? Only rankings receivers and Pass rushers the highest and QBs. Give some respect to the LBs and OL and Safeties
Barring injury, I can't imagine him being off this list for the next decade plus.....and could be top 15 next year (and better be in the f***ing Pro Bowl). BTW your info on the video says "comes in at number 78", just another mistake.
ChicagoDefense honestly as a colts fan I sometimes think about if he ended up at Clemson (His dream school) instead of SC, went to a different team and got picked in the first round. Admittedly it makes me happy he was so overlooked 😭😂
ma BOI. me and my boys play with defensive players in fantasy, picked him up as a free agent in week 3 and never looked back. won of the main reasons I won the chip
His mannerisms (not play-style or anything like that) remind an awful lot of Lawrence Taylor. But his play obviously recalls the specter of Derrick Brooks.

Remember when he was considered one of the worst draft picks by analysts? Gotta love hindsight.
Michael Shan that’s exactly why the NFL is doing it. To create headlines and lead the “anything is possible” movement lmao.
Michael Shan believe it or not my team(the cowboys) were all over him. They just went with LVE instead.

Yup what a joke
@@reyjr4 still excellent pick
#26 but wasnt in the probowl that shows the respect his peers have for him
Phinboy 4life yep. None
@@BurlASMR pro bowl is fan votes this top 100 is player votes
He did get First Team all pro
All-pro > probowl
All Pro tho. The system is stupid
“Y’all better leave me alone for I tell my momma” 😂
And NOT voted to the pro bowl. Smh....
Travis O'Hern doesn’t make sense 🤦🏽♂️
@Sweet Jones III Well the video sure didnt mention it.
Got a 1st team all-pro. That's light years ahead of a pro-bowl. Those get you in the hall. Pro-bowls don't.
He was first team all-pro, though, which is a more restrictive and prestigious honor
Travis O'Hern Popularity contest for the most part
“I got a dolla if u tell the play u running”
“No”
“C’mon man a dolla I’m a rookie I ain’t got money like y’all”
Who remembers this mic’d up
Lmao I remember haha
Quoting trying to get those likes hahahaha
"Kenny!!!! I'll give ya a dolla if you drop it!"
Wasn’t even that funny
@@sergiosanchezjr3017 It was just random thats why its funny
Such a humble person. Became a fan by his play ,but his speech at the NFL honors just sealed it for me.
Lombardi Way def. very well spoken
Thanked Irsay and Colts, thanked his D line, thanked his wife, thanked his Mom and lastly thanked the NFL for the award.
Fr i loved that speech! Humble guy and his leadership/play shutout my cowboys lol hes a monster hope he has a great career. i want his jersey tbh

So you telling me Quenton Nelson didn’t make the list, that’s ridiculous
Jc he’s making it I think.
I was thinking that when on zack martin they said zack was the only guard on the top 100
Tomorrow
Jc I think he might be the highest ranked rookie
@@jus4411 no thatll be barkley
Colts is finally getting some respect
Finally man
Allan the great colts vs chief
@@nalimlattarai2873 suck it 🖕🏿
Too bad Andrew luck is trashhhhh
Mitch Price boy he better than your fav qb not named Brady
This dude. Been a colts fan my whole life. He keeps this up, he’s about to enter the Dwight freeney/Robert
Mathis/ bob sanders territory for me. He’s everything man.
Bob Sanders used to be my dude back in the day. Darius looking like a stud to. Colts had a great draft last year.
He is already on that level and then some.
This doesn’t feel the same without Mike Daniels
_GunnerCapsAreOut_ ;-; Fax
Well deserved Let’s Go Maniac!! and Let’s Go Colts!!
Btw Big Q was straight up robbed was pissed to hear that he wasn’t going to be on the list smh
Kronic Impulse that’s not real. He HAS to be on this list. First team all pro?? Big Q is on it for sure
Quintin Miller I wish it wasn’t but unfortunately it is true Guards just don’t get the respect that other positions get
Lil'Blick Wit Da Stick it is bs Big Q’s peers must’ve been high or something when they voted on who’d be in the top 100
Kronic Impulse I mean he is probably like 101 through 110 he’s probably the second rated guard behind Martin which is saying a lot he’ll be on next year for sure though
Like seriously. I would put him before whitworth and so on in at least first 10 players
I’ve always wondered if he was as good as his numbers made him out to be, but the fact that the players voted him this high takes some of my doubts away
you gotta watch some colts games you definetly see him a lot and feel his presence in the game
Watch some colts games and he's EVERYWHERE.... If there's a gang tackle, 9/10 times he was the first one there
Dude had at least 4-5 game sealing forced fumbles and picks. I don't think Ive seen a defensive player seal that many victories for his team in a single season since Ed Reed.
He top B Wag in tackles come on man
Darius Leonard & LVE so much Potential at the LB position, so excited for the ‘19-‘20 Season
Don Slaughter420 although he didn’t make this list I’ll throw Roquan Smith in that bunch as well.
MANIAC!!! Dude got snubbed of the Pro Bowl nod; he far away led the league in tackles; sideline to sideline Mike Backer!!! #DROY
Between him and LVE this was a great year for Rookie linebackers
Not a Bears fan I hate them actually lol but Roquan was a beast too
Kronic Impulse and Evans and Edmunds
Let’s not forget some other with a lot of potential. Like Smith, Edmunds, and maybe Evans. It was a great draft for linebackers. Great draft all around really.
Colts fan4 Life I didn’t compare them
@Colts fan4 Life you're tripping, check the stats!!
They did him dirty by not showing that forced fumble against the raiders though, smh
Or the strip on Reed Week 2.
That Raiders strip was clutch as hell
That Tomahawk Punch on Doug Martin's football in that Raiders game was just such a GREAT play. I can't believe they didn't show it.
Love this guy. Colts with Luck, an elite Oline (bout time), good coach and a Leonard led defense will be a scary team in the next few years,
Man the colts got alot good drafts pick this year
Colts fan4 Life We’ll see about that. Deshaun Watson looking like the real deal and Justin Reid will be one of the best safeties in the league
Chris Myers Dont act like your defense is some untouchable force. Texans defense is way better plus our interior line is already set. Colts defense gonna be exposed by Watson and Keke the Colt Killer
@James Harden
Why don't you go back and watch the beat-down the Colts put on your team in the Wildcard game last year and get back with me.
Don't SSleep LMAO you got shut out 2nd half and youre blinded by the fact we had no Fuller or Thomas. Our shitty ass left tackle Davenport shut down your no name edge rusher. I cant wait for Keke and Fuller to torch your horrible secondary and see Watt sack Luck 5 more times this year 🤣🤣
That scene at 1:58 was so dope
Who else is just waiting every 15 minutes for the episodes
Pubg Boss08 go the the “ALL Sports highlights” channel
Guilty
Me
At&t can suck a fat one for taken away nfl network
Cody Carter yes perfect just yes
Coming from a Texans fan, he was one of the sharper thorns in our sides for us this year
Gonna be a LOOOOOONG career.
No one:
Darius Leonard: I got a nice truck and like Country music
Allan the great no one? you mean southerners
Getting the respect he deserves. Should have been selected to the Pro-Bowl....that helps these guys when it comes to second and third contract.
Tbf All-Pro nods are a way better argument
Anyone else catch them say he’s the second highest rookie in the top 100? We all know Saquons gonna be on here. That means Quenton Nelson’s not even on the list. Maybe I missed something but a little bit salty colts fan just passing through.

@Colts fan4 Life terron armsted needs to be on this list. So does Ryan ramcyzk
I’m a cowboys fan and am scratching my head as to why Nelson isn’t on here he was arguably the best guard this year
@Colts fan4 Life wouldn't you rather be behind a line that had every player either an all pro or a pro bowler last year... Fact
@Colts fan4 Life not really... The guys that made pro bowl are a few 1st timers on saints o line. And we have the best tackle tandem in football... Both all pros
This gotta be a popularity contest, this man led the league in tackles, had 7 sacks, and 2 interceptions he should be AT LEAST a few spots higher than 26
This guy was taken 1 pick before me in my fantasy draft. I nearly cried.
Don’t you draft defense as a whole?
*CRAZY LEGS*
HOW DO YOU MAKE FIRST TEAM ALL PRO AND GET IGNORED FROM THE PRO BOWL
Clueless voters
It's happened to Jason Kelce 2 straight years...
It’s good to finally see a legend giving props.. s/o to AP
Lets go Colts keep doing your thing be the best LB we ever had do better every year you will be a colts for life
This guy is that dude at LB bro straight up!!!
I’m glad that y’all are finally giving him the credit he deserves.
Gotta love that the players are showing my boy his respect. What a beast.
Life time 49ers fan. 3x fantasy football champ in my league. This dude won me my third one (dynasty). Bought his jersey for sure. The real one
Such a big fan of him so happy for him
So far the best ranking in my opinion
Aaaaaaay my man getting some recognition
Adrian Peterson: He's a guy who can lay down a beating and trust me, I know what a good beating looks like.
💀💀💀
😂😂😂
Wow what a year! 163 tackles 7 sacks 2 picks defensive rookie of the year very impressive this kids an athlete!
It’s so good having a great GM. I remember the day of that draft. And I was all hyped wondering who the colts would select.

Ok he’s 100% the reason why I’m a follow these colts very closely. The league needs potentially another stud at Linebacker.
mrslash blade him and Vander esch are gonna have a beautiful rivalry
Him and lve will compete for best lb in the league after wagner and kuechly start slowing down.
He's already competing, regardless of them slowing down or not.
Keuchly is already gone too
When they picked him I said he was gonna be good but dam he’s really good love the colts
Why does the description say he came in at 78?
What an exiting young rookie hopefully his career works out
Shout out to SOUTH CAROLINA STATE!!!! big ups to the smaller schools. I'm glad south carolinians are being put on notice for like the past 7 years or so.
first time seeing him interviewed, dude won me over. he's hilarious
Young Goat!
Damn it feels good to be a Colts fan!
Texan fan but Leonard deserves all the glory what a stud
Proof that pro bowls shouldnt define greatness, it's a popularity vote. This man is a stud and didnt make pro bowl but was all pro and #26 on this list. Players respect him, fans don't
Future HOF for sure
You can't really say that after just 1 year
Hes been in the league for one season calm down
Ok but he does show promise let him back it up next season and than we’ll see if he’s consistent
@@Two.Face4 if he stays consistent for the next 5 or so years then you might be able to call him a future HOFer but it's too early after just 1 seasin
Larry Legend is the GOAT don’t show this pissy mood with me your a cardinals fan hahahahaha
Already the best LB out there MANIAC
2:00 was like a horror scene...and here comes...the maniac!
I’m with the Wolf Hunter just because I’m a Cowboys fan but... this man is A BAD MAN!!!! Love his game.
THIS IS WHAT IM HERE FOR
I’m not gonna lie first thoughts:💭
His highlights are fun as hell to watch.
I was lucky enough to get this guys autograph
Its just mindboggling that every team passed him up the first round , he could be a Halloween costume, hes definitely a maniac
Sheesh man colts defense finally on the come up. They got a gem with Leonard
1:26 wtf Quenton Nelson spoke!?! Haha loved his 6 word interview on the Pat Mcafee show. The dudes a silent bulldozer 😂
Met this guy. Acts exactly like you see here 😂
For the love of all that's holy, please Colts hang on to this guy. He will be a Superstar for years to come. We have this problem with letting key guys go. GO COLTS.
He would’ve been in the Pro Bowl if it weren’t for fan voting
This man ain’t even make the pro bowl but was the most dominant linebacker maybe last year krazy well deserved 💯
Very nice. Now I can't wait to see where Nelson and Luck land.
This dynasty we’re building is going to be DOPE.
2:11 great evaluation by foster
The Maniac!!
The Maniac! This man is different
The whole linebacker Clas was stacked . Roquan, Tre Edmunds, Darius and LVE are gonna be Multi time Pro Bowlers and Hall of Famers
Best defensive Rookie well deserved spot
Glad he's on our team....
The future is in good hands 💪😬
2:01 that shot was amazing
If kuechly had this type of season he would've been top 10 easy why cant he be. He will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come
Bruh I'm in South Carolina and I wanted New England to pick this dude up. Colts you got a real one.
Mad respect for this guy but him being this far ahead of LVE is crazy. They should both be up here.
I don’t think he should be this low down. Definitely Derwin James should be defensive rookie. But you’ve still gotta love him
Um derwin isn't
He’s a beast 💪🐎
Just became a big fan of this guy.
This man should be higher considering he lead the league in tackles. What is this league now? Only rankings receivers and Pass rushers the highest and QBs. Give some respect to the LBs and OL and Safeties
Colts Nation 💙
Go Colts!
Good to see Darius Leonard getting respect from the nfl players! I think Luck and Nelson will be in top 10 and top 20, respectively.
Nope. Nelson isn't even on the list
So he got all pro honors and got into pro bowl in his first season but he did not make the list.
That’s totally f**** up!
@NFL, your description says "Darius Leonard comes in at number 78". Letting ya'll know ;)
Pro Bowl and all star games in general are all politics. This dude is a beast.
He is the most complete linebacker in the league. He can do it all.
1:18 - That smile tho. 😅
Barring injury, I can't imagine him being off this list for the next decade plus.....and could be top 15 next year (and better be in the f***ing Pro Bowl). BTW your info on the video says "comes in at number 78", just another mistake.
Quenton nelson should be been on this list
Beast.....
Imagine if the bears picked him. Leonard & Mack would’ve been unfair.
ChicagoDefense honestly as a colts fan I sometimes think about if he ended up at Clemson (His dream school) instead of SC, went to a different team and got picked in the first round. Admittedly it makes me happy he was so overlooked 😭😂
“I’m athlete now ,i can do it” iykyk 😂
Best LB in the League. That's Why Big BALLard drafted him
0:43 that Colts red hat look Hard! I’m not even a colts fan
Best lb of the new era
Well deserved
ma BOI. me and my boys play with defensive players in fantasy, picked him up as a free agent in week 3 and never looked back. won of the main reasons I won the chip
His mannerisms (not play-style or anything like that) remind an awful lot of Lawrence Taylor. But his play obviously recalls the specter of Derrick Brooks.
