WESTFIELD, Ind. -- The name Darius Leonard has become synonymous with defensive playmaking in the NFL.
But the Indianapolis Colts All-Pro linebacker no longer wants to be referred to by that name.
Leonard reported to training camp on Tuesday and asked reporters to call him Shaquille, which is his middle name and the name most people in his life use to refer to him.
"I went by Shaquille my whole life," Leonard said. "My mom called me Shaquille, my family called me Shaquille, my friends and family called me Shaquille. I only went by Darius in school or if I was in trouble.
