INDIANAPOLIS -- The second game of Shaquille Leonard's NFL career was a masterpiece.

A linebacker many considered too small for his position (generously listed at 6-foot-2, 230 pounds) -- and one who faced doubts because he played at unheralded South Carolina St. -- put together a historic performance.

Leonard entered that game against Washington on Sept. 16, 2018, a relative unknown, but 19 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble later, the Indianapolis Colts' second-round pick was on his way to becoming one of the NFL's elite defensive players.
