Not many players get picked in the second round of the draft from an FCS school. Even fewer players start right away. Darius Leonard has done that and then some. He is already a star as a rookie, and has established himself as one of the best players in the league.

Leonard led the league in tackles with 163, and that was with missing a game due to injury. He also had 7 sacks, 2 interceptions, four forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and a blocked field goal recovery. He has been a monster all season long.

Leonard somehow was snubbed from the Pro Bowl. That really got him fired up, and he should play some inspired play in the playoffs. He also has established himself as the favorite for Defensive Rookie of the Year in the league. He is going to be good for a long time.

He was great, but who was the most impactful Colts player this season?
